What Causes White Stuff To Come Out From Nose?
sometimes my nose feels a bit dry inside, so I pick my nose and get the dry stuff out, but today I was trying to get my nose clean when I notice something white so I was scratching it and nothing, so I got closer to the mirror and I notice that the white stuff seems to be my nose cartilage is it possible for it to be out like that? I even got some out and it did not hurt.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The white stuff in your nose pores is sebum , which is natural oil that the skin produces in the dermal layer.
Sebaceous glands attached to the pores on the skin naturally secrete this white and oily substance.
It is completely normal and you should not be worried.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
