General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

The most probable causes I can think about are as follows:
- White spot may be due to a polyp
- Granuloma
- Hypertrophied turbinate with some wound
- The infection might have caused scab formation
- Separation of scab partially can cause bleeding with resultant dried blood and also fresh blood

I would advise you the following in such a situation. It is better not to try anything at home. An opinion of an ENT surgeon with endoscopy will help a proper diagnosis. Additional information by CT scan and tests of blood can help to finalise the diagnosis. All this will give a plan for a great management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
