A member asked:

I have dark red mucus from blowing my nose. what is the cause of this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say.: Red colored mucus may be something benign such as a superficial blood vessel opening up when you blow your nose. But it could more serious and could represent an autoimmune disease such as wegener's granulomatosis. You need a rhinological (nose) exam with an endoscope to make an appropriate diagnosis and proper treatment.
