What would you do?

What would you do if your daughter woke up every morning with one of these things sticking out of her nose. Would you try to pick it for her after you repeatedly tell her not to pick it herself.

What would you do if when you picked it, it bled and your daughter looked at you like you were Cruella Deville. Would you ignore it and let her go to preschool, church, play dates and ballet with a large booger coming out of her nose?
I've tried Neosporin and boy was that a mistake. Large pimples were the result from that remedy. I've doused it in Vaseline after it's been cleaned but it always comes back in the morning. The humidifier scares Sadie, but so does Miss Deville....so again...what would you do?

Our oldest has had issues like that for a long time, and we found success with putting something like bactroban up his nose (on Doctor's orders). He hated it, tears were shed from both parents and kiddo, but it cleared up his issues without a problem. Have you talked to a nurse or someone about it?

my (uneducated) advice would be to stick with the neo (and suffer through the pimples) until it goes away. i have learned a LONG hard lesson that picking things only makes them worse...actually i have never really learned that lesson (i am a major picker of myself and my children)

even with boogers, she is the cutest little thing!
