APinchInTimeSaves9: You cleaning it with a power drill?Or an electric tooth brush? Why are you cleaning it?If you are gentle it shouldn't bleed unless there's something going on in there. Can the air pass through OK?Anything coming out? Just that nostril? You a nose picker? Any past trauma or infections? Allergies? If it starts to gush, pinch the soft part of the nose for 15 minutes and if that doesn't work, get help

Dry mucosa: or a prominent vessel in the nose. Try and stop cleaning your nose If it continues to bleed see your physician.
