What Is The Cause Of Scabs In Nose?
I have scabs in my nose that continue to grow after eliminating them by blowing my nose. I live in the northeast, it is winter and the air is dry. Over the holidays we were in the warm weather and swimming in salt water and they went away...but now they are back! what do you guess they are?

Hello
You may be suffering from what is called as rhinitis sicca , in which crusts will form in the nose due to dry weather. i would like you to meet your ent doctor for confirming this. you can reduce the crusting by applying vaseline/petroleum gel inside the nose.
Thanks
