Hello. Welcome to hcm
Sticky substance leaking from nose might be CSF.
It is called CSF rhinorrhoea
It causes irritation of noise causing crusting
Kindly consult your doctor who will do a nasal endoscopy and CT scan to look for cause of leaking substance and guide u to a diagnosis.
Do not apply steroid cream if not prescribed
All the best
