Probably normal: Probably normal. Keep air moisturized. Don't pick nose. If bleeding persists see ENT doc.

Most common causes: Dry air, nose picking and blowing the nose too hard. Most nosebleeds aren't serious and will stop on their own. Take care and be gentle.

A member asked:

My nose have been very dry, and when I blow it or pick it, it has blood. It is because of the cold weather? And just now, when I spat out my phlegm, it was dark red... never had it before, this is the first time. Is it a sign of cancer? Hope not!
