Asked By:suseso23 in Seattle, WA

I had rhinoplasty/septoplasty 7 months ago and since 3 months ago I started getting this crust inside my nose with burning sensations. I already went to see my surgeon but he said nothing is wrong that everything is healing ok, there is no infection. Sometimes the crust get really attached to my skin that can't clean it through blowing, I get this in my septum to. Is this normal? What could it be the reason of this crust?
