Hi,

The most common cause I can think about are one of the following:
- Can be a mucus blob as they say and may be blown out easily by blocking the other nostril
- Since you can see it not the colour. If white then may be a blob but if pink or so then can be hypertrophied turbinate or an abscess with no pressure hence no pain or tenderness
- In such a case consult your doctor, preferably an ENT surgeon for endoscopy and get a prescription based medicines depending upon the clinical diagnosis and may be added investigations
- Take care and do not over-do anything at home as this may cause complications

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
