Nosebleeds can be frightening and uncomfortable, but are rarely serious.

The Cleveland Clinic says possible nosebleed triggers include:

• Warm or hot, non-humid air that dries membranes inside the nasal passages.
• Sinusitis, a cold or allergy that triggers lots of sneezing and blowing of the nose.
• A facial injury.
• Sticking a foreign object in the nose, or picking the nose.
• High blood pressure, or taking a medication that thins the blood.
• Exposure to an irritating chemical.
• A deviated septum.
• Surgery involving the nose or face.
