What Causes Clotted Blood Tinged Phlegm Discharge From The Nose?

My wife has a circular, hard discharge from her nose every few days. She has to blow her nose real hard to get it out, and she thinks it is coming from the top of her nose between the eyes. It is a combination of blood and sinus congestion. What could this be?

As I understand it could be because of epistaxis or sinus infection .you should be careful about it as correct diagnosis and proper treatment is necessary to cure it . I suggest you to consult a ENT surgeon for examination of sinus and nasal cavity to find out cause .
hope it will help you .
