Low Humidity: In the winter, humidity indoors is lower because of use of heating without adequate humidity. This dryness in the air can dry out the membranes in the nose causing bleeding. Use a room humidifier, a whole house humidifier or a simmering kettle on the stove. You can also try irrigating your nose with saline twice daily. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
