I accidentally scratched the inside of my nose and it has been swollen and hurting, now it is crusty, what should i do?

Irritation vs infect: You could put Neosporin or bactroban (mupirocin) ointment on it. Its best not to disturb the crust. Let your bodies immune system do its job and clear this on its own.
