What Does Blood Tissues In Mucus Of Nose Mean?
I noticed a tiny spot of bright blood in the tissue after I blew my nose in the morning. Generally, after that, I would blow my nose multiple times during the day and not see anything. But tonight I put a rolled piece of tissue gently up my left nostril (about 3/4 on an inch) and it came back with blood. As best as I can see, there is a spot just behind the initial nasal passage that is causing it. My fear is nasal cancer.
