Every 24-48 hours the same scab forms inside my right nostril. i have to remove it or it cuts off my breathing. why does it keep forming?

Scab R.nostril: hi Phillip154 The scab is forming over a chronically infected area, (in this case probably a staph infection), and if the scab is large enough to obstruct your breathing on that side I would most certainly have an ENT doc look at this as soon as is possible.thanks

See ENT: and have it checked. It could be an infection or possibly a cancer.
