Nose bleed 6 weeks post op?

softhrowaway
Hello! I had a rhinoplasty over a month ago. all the stitches have dissolved and lately I've had some bad allergies. I've also developed a bad habit of using my fingers to try and get the scabs and boogers out. I know disgusting and bad habit, but one nostril had a tad bit of blood on the tissue one time. just now, I was picking at the same nostril and it turned into a full on nosebleed. I've also been accidentally knocking and bumping my nose unintentionally :( have I done any damage?
