Possibly: The swab test usually won't cause bleeding unless they touched your cervix.

A member asked:

Hi, I picked a spot on the outside of my nose about two weeks ago. It poured thin blood, dripping for a long time. It is difficult to stop it. It is very thin, almost like water. This has happened to me about 6 times since the initial. It is stopping quicker now, but still drips. Should I be concerned? Bump on nose won't stop bleeding
