Probably a staphylococcal infection -- the bacteria can usually be found under your finger nails -- or you may be a permanent "nose" carrier. I have had the same issues for many years, my mom complained about them so I figured they were hereditary.

Anyway, my primary care doctor prescribed an anti-bacterial topical cream which I use whenever they become too painful. Usually knocks them out within a few days when I use the topical 1-2 times/day.

The drug name is "Bactroban Cream."
