Wait & observe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. There are tiny extensive blood vessels near tip of the nose on inner aspect) which may bleed if there is any trauma & usually stops itself. You can apply compression to stop it as well. I would suggest you to wait & observe. If bleeding occurs again then you can visit hospital & get an appointment for an ENT specialist for examination and further workup.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
