I was diagnosed with Wegners and had the same symptoms. See your ENT doctor.
My nose always drips. Like a runny nose, and if not running nose, just wet inside where I feel like I have to blow my nose or wipe inside it with a tissue. I keep tissues in my pockets ALL THE TIME!! I’m SO TIRED OF THIS! Over 30 years of this! Doctors suggest the AYR gel to keep inside of nose ‘moist’ when they hear the word ‘scab’ thinking the inside of my nose is dry. Ugh. I don’t need that gel. My nose is ALWAYS MOIST INSIDE. In the morning I was crusty scabs inside my nose. It’s like my cartilage leaks fluid and I wipe it away all day. Like a runny nose. As night it crusts up like a crusty, crystally scab. It is dry then!! Too dry. Where when I breathe, I can HEAR the dryness of my inhaled nose breath like it’s a different SOUND from when the scab has been picked away. I feel like everyone around me can hear the dry inhale of my nose breath if I leave the scab. Like a flute sound - not so dramatic … but we all know everything about our own bodies. This sound of inhale via my nose when the scabs ARE THERE is different. It’s uncomfortable, it’s dry, … I can FEEL the scabs there, in the way - like I have a booger or something. All I want to do is get it out! Then it’s out, my nose bleeds, it’s painful / because my nose is constantly going from phase ONE: moist, obnoxious drippy/runny nose , blowing/wiping nose to phase TWO: dry, scabby, ‘there’s something in my nose - get it out!’ I’ve tried AYR gel, I’ve tried Neo Sporin ointment, I’ve tried herbal teas on a cu-tip to try to heal it or make it feel better,,, I’ve thought maybe it’s a staph infection, so I’ve tried crushed antibiotics with water on a cu-tip on the raw, open skin when scab is gone. I’ve tried everything! I need a nose cartilage TRANSPLANT!! Anyone have this same thing? HELP!! I’m going to just cut my damn nose OFF!!
I have the exact same problem although my bleeding isn't as much as yours sounds,I am a bit naughty tho and can't seem to help myself to pick at my scabs they are so very big and annoying I can barely breathe at times which temps me to pick ,also does anyone else notice the dried mucus/scabs are a bit smelly? I actually have made my nostril split at the front tip of my nose due to exsesive picking 😕 about 4 years ago I went to stay with my mother for a few months and she got a small pimple like thing in her nostril it's flared up and can't recall exactly what the doctors said it was but they gave her antibiotics and in only a few days was all cleared up,I went back home oblivious to the fact it could affect me then after a few days I got a big sized pimple like lump in one nostril and also flared up badly in both nostrils worse than my mum's did I get very very bad scabs now I have had a course of antibiotics and that didn't work although only seen 1 doctor that all she could tell me it was a infection so a course of antibiotics should do the trick she was wrong,from what I have gathered alot of you that have written in have similar problem no diagnosis,what is going on with us all ☺️ anyway anyone have any suggestions as to what this horrible painful, annoying scabbing is? Help someone......thankyou.
