Why Is My Nosy Dry And Constantly Bleeding?
Hello,
My nose is always extremely dry and bleeds DAILY an insane amount. Whenever I try to apply vaseline using a Q-Tip, I feel it has a weird lump inside and it's causing me breathing problems, as well as nose bleeds and crust build up. It's very irritating and affecting my personal and professional life. I've tried everything. What can I do? I need to see an otolaryngologist as soon as possible, if possible, to carry on with my life.

Hello
Well. meeting an otolaryngologist is the best option as you have to be examined to find out the cause for the crusting and bleeding. You maybe suffering from a condition called atrophic rhinitis or rhinitis sicca , both of which are chronic conditions and cause dryness of the nose.
You will have to meet your doctor for confirming this, applying vasline is a good idea and i would like you to continue with it.
Thanks
