Don't pick at it!: Be very careful not to touch it or pick at it. Should see a doctor for further evaluation. This could be serious!

ENT doctor: An ENT doctor would be in a good position to do an exam and determine what treatments would be necessary. There is a wide range of causes for the symptoms you describe, some of which are more annoyances, and some of which are more serious conditions.
