(HealthDay News) -- 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.
