Causes and Remedies. The chief cause of anterior nosebleeds is dry air. A dry climate or heated indoor air irritates and dries out nasal membranes, causing crusts that may itch and then bleed when scratched or picked. Common colds also can irritate the lining of the nose, with bleeding following repeated nose-blowing.
While the cause may be unclear at first, most cases when the nose bleeds are minor can be managed from home. Immediate causes of nose bleed include trauma to the nose from an injury, deformities inside the nose, inflammation in the nose, or in rare cases, intranasal tumors.olds, allergies, and frequent nose-blowing can irritate the nose, resulting in a nose bleed. 2. Dry air from indoor heating or outdoor environment, which can dry the lining of the nose. Dry air can cause the lining of the nose to crack and bleed, leading to a nosebleed.
