I had a septoplasty in 2008. the scab in my nostril still hasn't healed after trying a few otc ointments and petroleum jelly. 2 ents couldn't fix it.

Consider a biopsy: The chance that this is a cancer is very small, but certainly, in my practice, a skin or mucosa lesion that does not heal warrants a biopsy. This is a very minor office procedure that can be done with local anesthesia. Talk to your surgeon about this.
