Only I can get this! It is something that I get about 3 times a year on average. It usually affects my left nostril but can affect other side as well.

I have always had a tendency to have dried blood inside my left nostril as I have an area inner nose at back that bleeds if you touch it but its always been like that but as I say a few times a year I get a trememdous itching tingling pain inside my nose ( if you put your finger:) inside your nose and pull down its just there) and I want to stick my finger in and scratch like mad. I seem to have more dried blood than usual but if I blow my nose its clear. My nose does not run on that side but feels a bit drippy down back of nose.
In the past this has lasted anything from a day to a week.

two years ago I went to Dr who gave me antibiotics in case its infection but before I could take them next day the sensation moved over to other nostil:huh: and then went away but I took them anyway in case but obviously they weren't needed.

I always get it april to June and wondered if it could be allergy thing??

You could be irritating it if you have hayfever by sneezing a lot or scratching it. I would ask your doctor for advice again. Maybe try not to touch there sounds as if its best left alone as you could be making it worse by touching it.

I had similar symptoms, went to the doctor who prescribed a course of antibiotics which sort of cleared it up for a very short time. Didn't bother for ages after that (but it carried on, sometimes worse sometimes better often linked to if I had a cold or hay-fever) eventually saw a different doc who prescribed an antibiotic ointment which cleared it up beautifully.
