Brief Answer:
Apply it gently. NO need to get alarmed now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for getting to us.

Am so sorry to hear about this bleeding you witnessed this morning after applying the nystatin cream. The cause is likely related to how it was applied and not the drug itself. I will suggest that you apply gently to avoid rusting blood vessels leading to bleeding. There is no reason to be alarmed or to discontinue the treatment at this time.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me and let me know how the subsequent applications turn out to be.

Kind regards.
