Hi,
The most common causes of nosebleeds are drying of the nasal membranes and nose picking. I recommend using a proper lubrication of the nasal passages and also to avoid taking antihistamines for the allergies which can cause nose bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
