Variable: Could be recurrent habit i.e. Nose picking , or fragile blood vessels on the mucosa , or could be problems with blood itself ( bleeders) etc. Start by avoiding the bad habit, then go to see pmd or ENT to have further discussion and evaluation. If needed, your primary care doctor can refer you to see a hematologist if your doctor thinks you may be a bleeder.
