Could the little bit of black stuff from blowing nose be eyeliner?

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

Black mucous: While there is a communication between your eye and your nose, i doubt that eyeliner would be the cause. More likely, there could be a small amount of old blood, or rarely, a type of fungal infection. If it persists, i would see an ent.

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?
