My wife nagged me into going to the ear/nose/throat clinic today after having about a dozen nose bleeds in the last week, convinced it was something serious. This assertion was reinforced to her by me having never had one previously in my life.
Anyway, it was just a punctured blood vessel probably caused by to much picking on my behalf. The treatment for which was to basically clamp the wound with electric tweezers and heat seal it shut.
f**k me it was uncomfortable. There were 3 assistants holding me down for the procedure!
