What Causes Nose Bleeds After Cauterization?
is it normal to have a couple minor nosebleeds after cauterization? I just had mine cauterized about 3 weeks ago and it bleed very very minor about 3-4 times since but not as bad as it use to bleed before. Will my nose still heal properly? It would make sense to me that it would scab over again right?

Hello
No , it is not normal for it bleed after 3 weeks and i wuld like you to meet your doctor again. It is likely that you may need some more cauterization to stop the bleeding. Dont worry this is very common and many people require multiple cauterization's for controlling the bleeding. Your nose will be fine.
Thanks
