A member asked:

I noticed a scab on the side of my nose today but don't remember scratching it. it looks like it could be bleeding. could it be cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely : It is common to have small scab especially in very dry air.Removing the scab may cause tear to superficial nasal vessels causing bleeding.
