2. Nose Picking
One common cause of nosebleed is nose picking. In fact, it is the most common reason why children are more susceptible and suffer from nosebleed. It is likely due to prolonged nose-picking. Children have an odd habit of picking their noses even if there is no need to. Picking your nose with sharp fingernails can cause temporary damage to the nose’s lining and may result in bleeding.
Nosebleeds that are due to nose-picking usually heal on their own without needing any medical treatments. However, it is important to remember that healing requires less contact of the nose’s wall to things such as fingers, nails, and even Qtips. Therefore, it is important to refrain from picking the nose to allow for the nose walls to heal fully.
