Dry bloody nose for 6 months

2018-04-10 10:45:00
In November my nose suddenly got built up with hard mucus. Sometimes closing my nose all together. It wouldn't blow out and i had to pick at it. It eventually turned to dry blood and mucus. That lasted about 6 weeks. Since then my nose is extremely dry. I get build up in my inner nose a couple times a day. I have to blow my nose at least a dozen times a day, usually more. It's very uncomfortable. I've been using nasal spray and Vaseline to keep it moist, but it honestly doesn't help much.
