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.
1 An allergy which causes hayfever or sneezing can be the cause. 2  Some people have blood vessels in the nose that bleed easily, perhaps in warm dry air, or after exercise. 3  Bumps or falls on the nose are an obvious cause.  Sometimes something has been pushed up the nose, and damaged the blood vessels.
