Nose bleeding every morning for three days. Any suggestions?

My boyfriend is experiencing nose bleeding every morning when he wakes up for last three days. And in these three days a slight nose picking, rubbing face can also trigger the bleeding. The bleeding can be stopped quite soon thought. He's 26 years old with healthy lifestyle. No surgery or injury in the nose before. Is it because the hot weather recently? What should we pay attention to?

Thank you.

Generally, if the room is dry and humid, it could cause nose bleed, and if he is on any blood thinning medication, in addition with high b/p, it could result in increase bleeding. So, it is advisable for him to see a provider for further eval.
The blood vessels in the nasal lining are very close to the surface. Nose picking, dry air, use of aspirin and certain blood clotting diseases, in addition to high blood pressure can increase bleeding. Your boyfriend should see an ENT specialist and either get the vessels cauterized or find out why he is bleeding repeatedly.
MOST OF THE TIME IT IS DUE TO DRY HEAT CAUSING CRUSTING OF NOSE . IN SOME IT IS DUE TO RUPTURE OF BLEEDING VESSELS UNDER THE MUCOSA OF THE NASAL SEPTUM AND IN RARE OCCASION SOME BLEEDING POLYPI IN THE NASAL CAVITY CAN CAUSE EPISTAXIS(NOSE BLEED).I STRONGLY ADVICE TO SEE AN ENT SPECIALIST IF IT IS RECURRING PROBLEMS INSITE OF THE MOISTOIRISING GEL SECARIS AND SALINE DROPS IF IT PERSISTS.
