Why Do I Get Scabs in My Nose?

Question by Jena: Why do I get scabs in my nose?
I get them mostly in the winter time. It’s not from being cut, I know that. My guess was from the air being so dry? The thing is it just started happening about a year ago and I’ve lived in the same place my whole life.. so it doesn’t make sense. Does this happen to anyone else?

Probably dry air, I get them too. But they can also be a sign of systemic lupus.

I had a doctor ask me on two separate visits if I ever “did a little cocaine” after he looked in my nose with his light. I just get dry sinuses and use either Vaseline or Neosporin on a swab and coat the inside of each with it and after a couple days they heal up, but have to do it again every few days.
