: Nose bleeding is mostly a nuisance, however, some individuals are overly scared of watching fresh blood. I would like to suggest to see an ENT specialist whether you have a treatable condition. I would also suggest applying vaseline inside nostril each night which will certainly reduce frequency of nose bleeding.
