My 6-month-old kitten has black crust on her nostril. Should I worry?

Question

my cat who is 6 months old has a black crust on the corners of one of his nostril. should I be worried? it's also a bit tough to clean it, as it has dried out and stuck to the skin and she won't let me take it out as I am guessing it might hurt her a bit. she is a siberian kitten. vaccinated and dewormed.

It is probably due to nasal discharge that has dried out. If your kitten is regularly vaccinated and does not show any other sign like sneezing or coughing or eye discharge, that should not be a problem and I would not be worried.
