What Causes A Thick Layer Of Rough Substance Inside Nose That Bleeds?

I have a thick layer of rough sick on the right side of my inside nose. If I try to pick at it, it just ends up bleeding and then coming right back causing more to be in my nose than before. It hurts to blow my nose or even wipe it. What do I need to do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rough sick inside nose which is bleeding seems to be due to infection in nostrils due to nasal polyps. Need not to worry. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination. You should get pranasal sinus examination done. Take proper course of antibiotics such as Levofloxacin along with antiinflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine. You should maintain complete nasal hygiene. Do warm saline gargles. Put antiinflammatory nasal drops. Avoid touching or pricking.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
