Hello,
The most common causes of nosebleeds are drying of the nasal membranes and nose picking. Most cases are minor and can be managed from home. You can use saline nasal sprays to prevent the bleeding.
If the bleeding continue you can go to the emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
