Asked By:Ajp5564 in Los angeles, Ca

Hello, I had septoplasty surgery on Friday July 8th. I had mucus and blood coming out of my nose for about 3 days and it stopped. Now I have a bunch of dried mucus blood in my nostrils. 5 days after surgery I was picking at the dried blood/mucus to clear up my nostrils and I accidentally pulled out some sutures that were attached to one of the solidified blood/mucus I had in there. I did feel it when it came out, but otherwise it does not hurt and I am not bleeding. Is this a problem?please help
