Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain bleeding from nose can be due to irritation of the nasal mucosa lining with the dry cocine powder and continuous snorting leads to increased inflammation which on snuffing the nose causes rupture to minor blood vessels leading to bleeding..
The yellowish white substance can be the cocaine particles getting impacted over the mucosa on continuous use..
You should completely avoid the intake snorting cocaine and do saline douching..
Do steam inhalations and use steroid sprays to reduce inflammation..

In case if still there is bleeding of the white yellow substance is still present consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated to rule for causes like fungal infection and treatment can be planned accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
