Blood in nostrils: Do you have a cold or allergies? They cause swelling of the nasal tissue and breakdown which can lead to bleeding . Would place some vasoline inside the tip of the nose at night and in AM to mositurize, nose. Check platelets , and clotting ( PTt/PTT/INR), avoid use of ASA, NSAIDS as that may increase bleeding as can cocaine, fish oil ginger ginko, Vit E. F/U with doc/urgent care
