it looks like i have boogers

i have fairly dry skin on my face, and need to put a conscious effort into moisturing. since my cold included a very runny nose at the end of it, i was moisturising it like crazy the past few days. it possibly helped, but did not stop that part of my nose from turning out super crusty, there's even a scab on it. i would describe the look as kind of scaly snake-like but that's only at a closer look. from a distance, it just looks like dried boogers all around the rim.
