Asked By:ashleykm in Ontario, CA

I am almost 5 months post op, and there was dried mucus im my nose annoying me and affecting my breathing, so i decided to loosen it up with a toothpick, but when i did i think i accidentally stabbed myself(i was doing it gently) and it hurt. I am afraid i have done somthing wrong, could this damage my nose?
