A member asked:

I started having pain on the inside of my nasal cavity. hurts when i touch the area from the outside of my nose. no bleeding, obvious sores or bump.

Most likely staph: It is most likely a staph infection of the hair follicles inside your nose. You can get some Bacitracin ointment over-the-counter and rub it inside your nostril a few times a day over the next few days and it should get better. If not you should see an ENT doctor for a more complete evaluation.

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
