What Causes Development Of Crust In The Nostrils That Bleed?
I have a crust that develops on the inside of my left nostril on the cartilage. When I clean my nose and pick off the crust, it will bleed and sometimes I feel discomfort in my upper left jaw teeth. Thanks. What should I do.? I am caucasian female, 64 years of age.

Hello,
It may be due to dry nose.
For that you can apply nasal saline drops locally.
Use humidifier.
Avoid hot and humid environment.
Do regular blood pressure monitoring.
Avoid nose picking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
