Posted on Mon, 18 Jul 2016
Question: I have what looks like multtitle sores in both nostrils, they are somewhat tender. My nose is very dry but also runny at the same time. I blow it sometimes and blow blood chunks. I believe it could be because of cocaine use of up to 1-2 grams a day for a solid 2 weeks.
