Nasal bleeding: You need to be seen by a doctor, preferably an ENT expert and examined to determine the source of the bleeding and then suggest a means by which it can be stopped. This is probably just erosion of tissue by chronic inflammation, but may require cauterization.

For a little over a week my nose has been stuffed up, and whenever I blow my nose to clear it up, it's a mixture of blood and mucus. This is only happening in one nostril. Is this a nasal inflammation or something else?
