Persistent Crust Formation Inside Left Nostril With Occasional Blood Droplets. No Relief With Saline Spray

I am 17 years old, currently in wrestling but was knocked in the nose during my state football game. About 2 weeks ago.
Since then, I have had a very annoying, persistent crust that forms inside my left nostril. Occasional (minimal) blood droplets. When I feel around in my nostril.
I noticed a dent and skin build up on the tissue that separates the nostrils. I can feel it and man it hurts. This isn't an ingrown hair. And my nostril isn't plugged. I have tried saline spray to moisten the nostril but the build up and painful crust hasn't left. Can ya help me out?

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

I would suggest you Steam inhalation, 15-20minutes each session thrice a day.
It will definitely provide you the much needed relief.
In case the symptoms persists, would suggest you to consult ENT Surgeon to rule out Atrophic Rhinitis.

In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
