Scab In Nostril, Discharge Of Blood And Clear Liquid. Taking Saline Gel With Aloe. Suggestions?
I have developed a scab in my nostril about 4-5 days ago. I have picked it almost daily since then mostly in the morning. There is some blood and clear liquid. It seems to build up more overnight and by morning creates some stuffiness. I'm on vacation and went to the pharmacy they offered a non medicated saline gel with aloe for moisturizing. Any suggestions or questions for me to clarify more details

Hi,
It seems that due to congestion in nostril might have caused this problem.
Due to congested nasal mucosa blood is dried up forming crusts and scabs.
Continue applying saline gel for getting scab loose and then removed carefully.
You can put some decongestant nasal drops as well.
Take some oral decongestant tablet.
Take Vick vapor inhalation.
Ok and take care.
