Specializes in Palliative Care

Inflamed nose: The inside of the nose has a good supply of blood vessels and if you are having allergies then the tissue can become inflamed and it may have blood. Nasal steroids are helpful and if taking allergy medication the tissue may be dry. consider using vaseline on the inside of your nose in small amounts. Also if you use benadryl that can be drying.
