Blood on the Inside of My Nostrils When Cleaning?

luvluv123
I have heard that if any damage is done to the nose a good sign would be bleeding. I was wondering how much bleeding is considered a sign,because I usually clean my nose out with a qtip and have noticed some blood in the inside of one of my nostrils, it's not a tremendous amount of blood, it looks like something from a scab. So my question is how much of an amount of blood should I be worried about? And is it normal to bleed from the inside of my nose? I'm 7 1/2 months post op rhino. thanks.
