Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of nose injury in childhood and now a red line in the nose.
Unless proved otherwise this may be an enlarged blood vessel. I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get a clinical examination in the form of Endoscopy to see the exact cause and get it treated
Do not rub over as it may bleed too much. A proper coagulation may help.
