A member asked:
1 1/2 weeks past septoplasty. picked nose! must be a stitch left. no bleeding, left stitch alone. could i mess septoplasty up by picking? paranoid...?

Best to leave it: You will not likely alter the septum, but could provoke bleeding and irritation. Best to just gently blow your nose as needed.
