A member asked:
I have dry scabby boogers that are stuck to the septum on both sides of my nose. i have to pick them off little by little as it hurts.

Usually dry: some topical ointments can help. I use a little neosporin in the nostril for a day or so. Also,some nasal saline spray twice daily may reduce the dryness. Humidity in your sleeping room may also reduce the dryness.
