Sorry, kinda gross.
For the last two-three weeks I've had crusty scabs right around the inside of my nose, on the same side as my septum. They're in both nostrils. They're not like traditional boogers, as they're hard to pick off, rather painful, and come back within hours of removal. They don't bleed, but they are really annoying. What could they be, and what should I do about them?
Note: I live in Houston, Texas where the climate is usually hot and humid. It's only started to getc chilly (50°F) and they were there before the cold, dry weather.

Well, you could put a whole toe in each of this nostrils. Didn't your parents teach you not to dig in your nose?
Sounds like to me the dry air is drying out your skin. The nostril are pretty sensitive skin, so it would make sense that the actual skin is drying out. It's reforming because your bodies reacting to the dry skin is a form of lubricant, which then dries again.
I'm not in any sort of medical field so I'm probably 100% wrong.

Nope. How small are your toes?

I have the same thing in my right nostril since monday! Anyone know what the hell that is?
dude, just stop picking your nose. they'll go away

It's just dry skin, it happens when people turn the heaters on and the air is super dry and warm. Just take a little vaseline on your finger and rub it in there at night and during the day if you need it and it will make it better.

scabs from picking your damn nose too much, pal

Yeah, I have been picking my nose a lot so you're probably right.

chalk it up to personal experience

I'd love to take tweezers to that nose hair though

here in Australia it's getting into Summer and I've already had a dry nose for the past week or so, my advice would be drink plenty of water for hydration and use some nasal spray to moisture your nose
if you're having trouble breathing through your noise you can some chicken soup to clear sinus issues, just be wary of dairy as for some people it tends to create thicker mucus making it harder to breathe if your sinuses already feel fucked
I put Vaseline on it for the night and it seems to have cleared up.
