White mucosa on membrane of my nose

Hello, why checking my nose I've found a white area on my (what I assume to be) deviated septum. Can you please tell me if it is normal for that to be white?

I'm anxious about it and I'm not sure for how long as been like this...
Thank you for your attention...

Hello, thank you for your answer. But I can't rub that out. It doesn't look like sputum. I tried to take it out with a cotton bud but it feels like it is a mucosa and not sputum. I'm not sick, at least I feel healthy.. :)

Hello!  That looks like you are congested. White sputum is often a sign of that. If the area is inflamed as well (rubbing, past cold, new cold coming, etc), this can develop.  https://health.clevelandclinic.org/what-the-color-of-your-snot-really-means/  Are you sick at all?
