A nosebleed may be scary, but it rarely indicates a medical problem. The nose contains several blood vessels near the surface in both the front and the back, and these vessels are fragile and bleed easily. Anterior nosebleeds occur when blood vessels in front of your nose break and bleed. Posterior nosebleeds happen in the back or deepest part of the nose, and the blood flows down the back of the throat. Posterior nosebleeds could be dangerous.
