I saw my regular Dr. He mentioned a cancer concern. So he sent me to the ENT. The ENT didn't seem too concerned about cancer. ENT found an unusually large vein in my nose. ENT cauterized my nose. The full out nosebleeds have stopped. I still get light scabbing which the ENT said may happen. He gave me an RX for the scabbing and just told me to use as needed. If the issue got too problematic he told me to come back. But since there's no more bleeding and the scabs are just light blood and don't really bother me I haven't felt any need to go back. Nothing has really changed since I went to the Dr about a year ago.

@smacky311 Welcome back to Mayo Clinic Connect.

It's good the doctor was able to take care of the majority of the issue and you do not have nosebleeds anymore.

Did the doctor say why the scabbing persists?
