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 Recurrent nosebleeds may be a symptom of an underlying disorder such as high blood pressure. 2  Inflammation of the nose or sinuses and cold may cause a nose bleed. 3  Deviated septum (when the partition between your nose is crooked), foreign objects in the nose, or other nasal obstruction may also cause nosebleeds.
