thanks everyone for the replies.
Staph pimples - interesting - some of these seem very much like
pimples at first, but seem too large to be called pimples. I'll look
into this.

How bout if I call them small staph boils?
Staph boils can be very large but when I get them in my nose they are so
painful that most people would quickly seek treatment before they have a
chance to get too awful big. If you have any visible pus in the bumps (hard
to see up your nose) or extreme tenderness in the tip of your nose, then you
might suspect staph infection. Bactroban is an easy treatment and you'll
probably know within 3 days if it will be helpful as the tenderness will
begin to subside. AW

Yep, staph boils - sounds good to me. I'm quite certain after reading
your description that is what I'm dealing with and my god are they
painful. Absolutely mind bending pain.
