Children are far more likely to experience anterior nosebleeds, and it’s clear why. The two most common causes for an anterior nosebleed, nose picking and impacts to the face, are much more likely to occur with children. Adults will also experience these nosebleeds, but more often from causes like dry, winter air, car accidents, and taking blood-thinning medication.
Posterior nosebleeds affect the back of the nose and are much more serious. These will often not stop on their own and the person will need to visit an otolaryngologist. Thankfully, posterior nosebleeds are not nearly as frequent. Elderly tend to be the ones affected, as well as those with high blood pressure.
