But a nose cauterization forces the scab to happen, so if the body has good reasons not to, then wouldn't that be bad?

Some peoples mucus isn’t as strong as others, so sometimes it won’t really help healing if too damage a vessel in your nose which is why it continues to bleed and a cauterization is needed.

Usually it varies to person to person but the body will force a scab to happen in the nose if I’m not wrong. I’m no a doctor so don’t take my word on that.
