When i pick a scab out of my nose it bleeds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scab picking: What do you expect? A scab is your body's way to stop bleeding. So removing a scab may lead to more bleeding. Try not to p;ick. Instead keep your nose moist with an ointment. If the problem persists, have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
