If you continue with this you could be setting yourself up for a lot of severe nose bleeds. The blood vessels are right at the surface in the nostrils and if you damage the membrane it can heal with the blood vessels outside it. Then, even a mild sneeze will cause a severe nose bleed and the repair (cauterization) is very, very painful. They basically have to create scar tissue to cover the blood vessels by burning the membranes inside your nose.
Time for you to find a less damaging disgusting habit, don't you think?
I love picking my nose?!?
