Thanks for asking!: Vasoline can help with scabs in the nose but, it is very thick and may impair your breathing ability. I would recommend something that is really made for the nose, over the counter at your local drug store. Then prevent getting scabs in the nose if you can.

See your doctor: While vaseline can help soothe scabs in your nose, you may require an actual treatment in order to get rid of them. Many people carry staph aureus bacteria in their nose. Others carry the herpes virus in their nose. Your doctor can culture the affected area to help you treat the scabs more effectively.
