Emollient: You may try using a very small amount of emollient like Vaseline to the opening of the nose. Do not go deep and apply very small amount. If it persists past the allergy season, you should see an ENT doctor to ascertain if cauterization if the bleeding area may be needed.

Nasal saline gel: Nasal saline gel works very well (made by AYR). Apply to the septum inside the nose (the center section) that's where the blood vessels that bleed are. Do that each night and that should help. See an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist if that doesn't help. Also use a humidifier in the room at night.
