Suggest Treatment To Remove Scab Inside The Nose

I have this scab in the upper corner of my inner left nose and I can't seem to get rid of it. I have bad anxiety issues but no doctor seems willing to help me in any other way but load me with drugs. I constantly pick at my nose no matter how hard I try to stop but I never normally make cuts or cause damage to the nose. I however can't stop picking at this scab because it feels huge and the feeling like something is in my nose is why I constantly pick at it. I need to know if I can get rid of this scab. I have tried putting toilet paper in there and it works until I take it out and then almost instantly after I take it out it grows back and bigger. Can you tell me what this is or why I would have gotten this in such an odd corner of the nose?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having nasal congestion producing dry and recurrent scab formation.
Put decongestant nasal drops like Otrivin.
Do not try to pick ups scabs as there are chances of having cut or bleeding or recurrence.
Put some glycerine or Vaseline in scab area and afterwards smoothly remove this scab.
Ok and take care
