Angry Dark Infected Lesion on Right Nostril

Answered by a doctor

I had a facial rash seven days ago. I put mometasone furoate drops on it for 3 days without doctor's orders. My nose developed this lesion. My doctor says this sore is from impetigo. She gave me an oral antibiotic. Is it possible that this lesion is a side effect of the mometasone and not impetigo?
