When picking your nose, the nasal mucosa may be irritated or damaged, leading to bleeding. The nasal mucosa is a delicate and sensitive part of the body that is responsible for protecting the inside of the nose and moisturizing the air we breathe. When picking your nose, you may accidentally scratch or damage this delicate tissue, causing bleeding.
Additionally, there may be other factors that contribute to nosebleeds, such as dry air, allergies, nasal infections, or even a more serious condition like a deviated septum. If you frequently experience nosebleeds when picking your nose, it is recommended to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the problem.
In the meantime, you can try to reduce the frequency of nosebleeds by avoiding picking your nose excessively and keeping the inside of your nose moist by using a humidifier or applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the nostrils. Also, it is important to avoid any actions that may irritate or damage the nasal mucosa.
