The most common cause of anterior nose bleeds is trauma such as a blow, smack, or sometimes just picking the nose. Dryness inside of the nose can also cause bleeding. In addition, high altitudes, colds, allergies, and medications are all potential culprits for triggering a nosebleed. Smoking can dry out the nose too, so quitting is especially important for recurrent nosebleeds, among many other health benefits.
We respect your privacy. Nosebleeds are common, and while the cause may be unclear at first, most cases are minor and can be managed from home. Immediate causes of nosebleeds include trauma to the nose from an injury, deformities inside the nose, inflammation in the nose, or, in rare cases, intranasal tumors. Any of these conditions can cause the surface blood vessels in the nose to bleed.
