Did you pick your nose? Did you stop picking your nose?

How did you do it?

When I started getting nose hairs. Now I pluck those suckers and they bring anything else out with them.

I should also point out that when I get my hair cut, the barber also does a wax removal.

I recommend to not plug them out. It can lead to mini infections creating nasty painful ~~pickles~~ pimples inside your nose.

Get a nose hair trimmer instead.

Edit: I just realized I accidentally used the German word for pimple. No, there wouldn't magically manifest pickles inside your nose, just by plugging some hairs. But I'm certain there is some kind of parallel universe, where this might happen.

Here in Germany Pickel-Rick is quite common.

With a username like that I can only assume a level of expertise I cannot reach as I am follicle-ly challenged. I shall take your advice on board 😊

Do children not have nose hairs? That seems off, I thought only people with certain alopecias were the only ones without nose hair

i have AA, and it would fall of easily, but it has grown long since then,

I think they mean the kind that stick out of your nose. I didn't get those until long after my childhood ended.

I never had nose hair that bothered me until my mid 30's. I think that may be what they mean. I now trim all the time. Otherwise, my nose gets super itchy. I also have no idea how people pull them... hurts so much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

After a few times of pulling them, the pain goes away.
