What causes the nose to bleed? Occurs randomly and without any cause or reason.

Nose bleeds are caused by blood vessels breaking inside of the nose. This can be caused by nose-picking, dry air, and illness.

My brother had this happening a few years back and ended up needing surgery to fix the problem. Check with your doctor.

Yep. My brother was cauterized on the inside of his nose to prevent them as well.
