Nose Bleeds. PLEASE HELP!

Please help!! For the past couple of days, every time I blow my nose, there is a little blood in my mucus. I do have allergies, tons of post nasal drip, and my nose feels dry. I read that nose bleeds are a sign of leukemia, which I am totally afraid of! I had my blood done at the end of June and everything was perfect. I don't have any abnormal bruising or anything else. Should I be worried?

Thanks! Your comment does help! I have one question for you, though. What would be the difference between bruising and bruising easily? For example, a few days ago, I closed the car door on my leg and have yet to get a bruise. If I did have a bruising problem, would a bruise have shown up by now?

Thanks Again!

I dont think u have anything to worry about,My son was dinosed with leukemia in march of 06...He never had a nose bleed,the reson we were concernd was becuse he had petka(tinny red dots) all over his body and was a walking bruse..the dog wold jump on him and he would bruise...A little blood in mucus is normal if u have allergies or sinc prob, i have that my self..



   Good Luck!!       Valerie
