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.
Bleeding from the ear canals may be due to several causes e.g. infection, exzema, tumor, local trauma and even from fracture of the base of the skull, but such causes are easily diagnosed. Nosebleeds happen to us all and causes of bleeding from other orifices are numerous and have different meaning and consequences. Bleeding from the navel is usually caused by impaction of material or eczema in a narrow navel. (Please note the disclaimer at the bottom).
