Calm down - it is highly unlikely to be cancer
It is probably dry sinuses or allergies causing it.
I get this sometimes and I got a nasal spray from the doc and it cleared it all up.

There is nothing to suggest it would be cancer.
You're quite sure you didn't pick your nose in your sleep and scratch it with a fingernail? It's happened!
If you have never had them before I would suggest going to the doctors if it doesnt clear up in a week. NOT as a matter of urgency. NOT because I think it is anything sinister. Just go because it is something minor that most normal people would want clearing up. The diagnosis of a trained professional will probably be really boring and mundane, compared to what you are catastrophizing.

I agree with going to the GP just to see what could be causing the problem. Good luck.
Hi Shelley,
I have suffered with nosebleed all my life. Some can last seconds, some have lasted almost an hour on occasion.
Ive even had my nose cauterized 3 times when I was younger, but I still get them now. I dont even have to do anything to my nose and they can just start. A lot of things can make them happen like air pressure, blood vessles being close to the edge of the inner nose, blood pressure and I was always told drinking too much milk (but I think that was an old wives tale)
I wouldnt worry Shelley.
Hope this helps x
