Hit Nose With The Knee While Dancing. Since Then, The Left Nostril In Peeling, Flaking And Bleeding. Did The Hit Cause This And Can This Be Cured At Home?

Hi. The other day, my boyfriend was dancing and hit his knee on his nose. Ever since then his nose has been having this weird reaction, his left (your right) nostril has been peeling, flaking, and bleeding from the inside-out. We aren't sure if it was the dancing that caused this, but it was coincidental that it happened in that order. We would like to know if (1.) his crazy dancing may have caused this, (2.) what's making it react like this, (3.)can it be cured at home (& if so, then how?)

Thanks for query at hcm.after going through the history you have given it looks like your boy friend has a small ruptured vessel due to hit in nose .usually it should have resolved in one or two days if it was small vessel.you are saying it is still bleeding. It is better to see a E.N.T (OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGIST) at the earliest.till then do not not sneeze or pick harder in nose.hope this info is helpful.regards
