Multiple: Is mom on a blood thinner like Coumadin (warfarin) or aspirin? Moved into a environment where her nostrils would become dried out? Any family history of leukemia? Hold old is she, any possibility that she has been picking at the skin in her nose? Is she on any treatment for another condition which might contribute to her blood not clotting correctly? The er will run blood tests/ radiology and have an answer.
