A<unk>  is loss of blood from the tissue lining the nose. Bleeding most commonly occurs in one nostril only.<unk> s are very common. Most<unk> s occur because of minor irritations or colds. They can be frightening for some patients, but are rarely life threatening. The nose contains many small blood vessels that bleed easily. Air moving through the nose can dry and irritate the membranes lining the inside of the nose, forming crusts. These crusts bleed when irritated by rubbing, picking, or blowing the nose. The lining of the nose is more likely to become dry and irritated from low humidity, allergies, colds, or sinusitis. Thus,<unk> s occur more frequently in the winter when viruses are common and heated indoor air dries out the nostrils. A deviated septum, foreign object in the nose, or other nasal blockage can also cause a<unk> . Most<unk> s occur on the front of the nasal septum, the tissue that separates the two sides of the nose. The septum contains many fragile, easily damaged blood vessels. This type of<unk>  can be easy for a trained professional to stop. Less commonly,<unk> s may occur higher on the septum or deeper in the nose. Such<unk> s may be harder to control.
