Bleeding nose advice 

Although it is quite rare, it is completely true that sometimes hives can be so badly aggravated that they may cut open and ooze. This is a condition that would only be reached if you have neglected them very badly, or if you have been attacked by some sort of virus or active insect or organism that causes hives in the first place. Once you find that your hives have opened up, you would need to consult a doctor immediately, as the risk of skin infection increases manifold when this happens.


A doctor will also be able to tell you the reason your hives have opened up and become blistered or oozing.

In order to not allow yourself to reach this state, however, you can adopt a variety of home remedies that will soothe and cool down your hives. The best is to rub calamine lotion all over them.


This will provide considerable relief. For further cooling relief, you can mix together chilled milk and powdered oatmeal and apply this to the affected area. This will also help with reducing the itching sensation. It is important for you to know that once your hives have opened up, it is unwise to apply any of these things. It is better to apply an antiseptic agent such as a mix of turmeric powder and clarified butter. This will help with healing and not have any other side effect either.

Nose bleeding queries

The skin inside our noses is sensitive. When the weather turns dry, the skin inside is affected too. It becomes dry. What is more the dryness causes it to become brittle and suffer frequent breaks. It is this that causes the nosebleeds. However, chronic cases of nosebleed should be examined by the doctor.

You should first of all ensure that your surroundings are humidified by placing large bowls of water around. Especially ensure that your sleeping area is well humidified. Keep the heating and the air conditioning systems turned low. You can try some easy remedies to help stop the nosebleeds. You can sit on a chair and hold your nose tightly on the bridge. Then bend down so that your head is between your knees. You can also try lying down with your head tilted back. Peel an onion and chop off a large chunk of this. Hold this under your nose. You will find that the bleeding stops almost instantly. Roll up a piece of toilet paper and push this under your upper lip. Hold it there for a little while. This is supposed to stop the bleeding from your nose. Take a piece of ice and hold it in your mouth. Use your tongue to hold it up to the roof of your mouth for as long as possible.
