Scab that wont heal in nose?!


Question:

Scab that wont heal in nose?

I've had this scab inside my nose, against the cartlige on the side. I've had it for so long, I think maybe it came with the cold winter that just passed.. but its always cracking and wont heal completely.. i cant help but crack it open sometimes.. it's starting to really bug me and scare me, anyone know what this means?


Answers:

Relax.
I have one for over 5 years now and believe me, it won't kill you. I was told that due to the repeated cracking the blood vessels are so thin that they will easily crack open and start to bleed. With me, this happens when the humidity in the air is low like in the winter and if I stay too long in an airconditioned room. I saw a ENT for this and he said I will have to live with this.
For me, keeping my nose moisterized is the only way to keep it from bleeding. I use a saline solution to keep my nose moisturized. You can go to any store and ask for a saline nasal spray. Check the link below for some of them:
