It's going to be almost a month or two, although I'm not picking my nose anymore its become very sensitive and is not completely healing causing discomfort, pain and sometimes headache too.. Please suggest some medicine or solution

Please elaborate as to which part of the nose you have the wound.. On the middle septum or on the sides. Septal wounds usually bleed. If the wound is on the side wall it could be due to a hair follicle infection leading to your symptoms.. As the problem is different so is the treatment. Please elaborate on your symptoms and share a picture of your nose. Consult further for more information on treatment
