What Could Cause Recurring White Scabs, Unlike Mucus, On The Insides Of The Nostril?
Hello for a while now I have been getting a weird white scab on the inside of my nose specifically left nostril in the middle towards the end. It looks like dead skin and when I peel it it does not hurt but does come back and it is just annoying because it feels like a dry mucus and is quite disgusting what is the cause of this? Its not huge at all quite small.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be dry mucus and nothing else, you have to keep the nostril clean with worm water, If I would be your doctor then I would surely advise you to use saline water to clean the area, and also would advise to use the second generation antihistamine "Livocetirizine 10 mg once in day to stop the formation of mucus, take care have nice day.
