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.
Stress and Nosebleed. The human nose is full of blood vessels which can be easily damaged resulting in a nosebleed. Apart from any kind of trauma that results in injury to the nose, bleeding may also occur in dry weather or during the dry winter months when the nasal membranes turn too dry. One of the more common causes of non-trauma induced nosebleeds is an increase in blood pressure.
