What Causes Congestion In Nose With Crusty Dry Blood Specs?

I am having ongoing nose issues for last few months. Left nostril is totally congested/blocked and can barely breathe through it. Right nostril works fine, but very crusty and there is dry blood specs as well as blood mixed with snot (snot color is more on the light side as opposed to darker shade). Taking Fluticasone Propionate spray at bed time, but can' really tell much improvement, also taking Zyrtec-D allergy pills in the morning. I don't think it's sinus, because I don't have the headaches. But I am not sure, since I am congested. Obviously, I have to go see an ENT and find out what's going on; perhaps a get a CT scan of the nose. Any expert insight is very much appreciated, since I am not too familiar with these issues, and never had them growing up. Thank you for your time.
