Had A Surgery For Rhinitis. What Is The Scab On Nose?
I recently had surgery for rhinitis about 2 yrs ago. i never went back for the check up after the gauze was removed. and now i have a big scab in my nose where it was done. and under the scab is a medium sized hole and fluid comes out..!! I was wondering should i get it looked at.? If it might be serious ? or if i can do something at home.? Thanks For Your Time.

Hi, thanks for your query.
Perhaps you had a surgery 2 weeks ago.
You have not gone for follow up post surgery.
The fluid can be either nasal discharge or due to infection.
I suggest to get it checked by your operating doctor to rule out something serious rather than home remedies.
hope this helps you.
