Is that any symptoms of any disease? is that is problamatic?

Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Slight nasal bleed occasionally is a very common phenomenon and in general occurs due to drying of nasal membranes and cracking of it or due to finger pricking.
Drying of nasal mucosa is very common in harsh winters or in very hot climates.
This dry mucosa then cracks and can cause slight bleeding.
There can be other reasons for nasal bleeding like use of blood thinners,high blood pressure etc.
I would advise you the following...
Keep your nose lubricated by applying either Vaseline or NEOSPORIN ointment.
Drink plenty of water.
Take less alcohol.
Quit smoking.
Avoid finger pricking.
These measure should keep you all right but if your bleeding continues or becomes heavy,then it would be advisable for you to consult an ENT specialist and get yourself checked up.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
