Alot of people who think of septal perforation in regards to the situation i’m in may either think of being born with a deviated septum, or worse, my messed up septum being the result of drug use. Thankfully neither of these seem to be the case, but throughout much of my life i’ve been at the bad habit of picking my nose. I pretty much stopped in the last few weeks.
However during the covid-19 pandemic a wave of massive depression hit me which was common along with may people whom were under the stressful situation the world was in. It resulted sadly in me messing up my nose to the point of ripping the septum out. Eventually this led my nose to hemorrhaging none stop and it took few weeks for the bleeding to die down(I wore fingerless gloves as a means to mitigate me picking my nose).
Eventually up moving into a new place I took it upon myself to get a septal button installed in my nose a year or two ago out of fear my nose could return to worse times than before out of fear of health risks given the current state my septum is in. Sadly because of my bad habits it didn’t last partly because I used my netipot way too much. Recently i’ve been using the neti pot only two times a day, but before my septal button came out I not only was massively picking my nose recklessly, but sing the neti pot none stop(I use it two times a day in the last couple weeks)
Now I can’t attach the footage I took with my phone with regards to a snake camera that my doctor put up my nose for the last visit I had with her(after my septal button came out). Obviously the site’s software won’t let me(though I could post a video on a video sharing site). Sadly the site also won’t let me upload images for some reason so as of this topic’s posting i’ll have to make due with what I have.
As i’ve said I haven’t been picking my nose since the button came out and I limit my use of the neti pot to twice a day.
