if you are serious.
and it is bleeding more than just spots.
then it isn't from picking.
it is higher up and usually from dry cracked skin.
if you have a humidifier, kick that on.
don't tilt your head back, then the blood goes to your stomach and you get pukey.
instead pinch your nose just under the bridge (the bone part) and lean forward a bit. if you want, stick a wad of tissue slightly up in there.
you can also put a cold water soaked rag on your neck to help lesson the blood flow a bit, but that really doesn't ever seem to work for me.
and don't freak out - I used to when I got them, which just incrases your heart rate.
you can lose a good deal of blood and be fine- it usually looks like more than it is.
have fun.
