My left nostril started bleeding 5 weeks after rhinoplasty is this normal?

Asked By:Sdatore in Texas City, TX

I was blowing my nose as normal when I felt something tickle the inside of my left nostril, I ignored it and blew my nose once again. After I did, the left nostril started bleeding and now it hurts when I blow my nose. Its not much of a sting, it just hurts. Could it have been a stitch that came off which lead to the bleeding or what could it have been?
