Left Nostril Bleed After Shower. Advise?

Hello,

I'm 22 years old and have sustained no recent injuries or change in atmosphere, I'm just curious as to why my last two showers have caused my left nostril to bleed for a few minutes (I pinch it for a few seconds during the shower to clog it) this hasn't occured bathing just showering. This has happened on the 29th March and 26th March, so a 3 day spacing. This is the first time it's ever happened so not too alarmed, just curious as to possible cause and whether it's something I should actually be concerned about, isn't a major inconvience and doesn't pain me whatsoever.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi,
thanks for contacting HCM
it may be a nose prick injury as most common cause of unilateral nasal bleeding in adult. just checkup the ENT specialist for rule out the other cause. use the liquid paraffin as a nasal drop.
