It’s most likely either from dryness in his environment and/or his picking or rubbing his nose or blowing his nose a lot. Try running a humidifier in his room and applying petroleum jelly to the inside center (septum) of his nose at night. If he is having other bleeding or easy bruising or this continues or it’s hard to stop, please contact his doctor.
