Lmao you amateurs. I usually get one a day in the winter months, sometimes multiple a day
I go in for one nosepick and it's a cascade of blood

It's normal, just not common. I was the only person in my entire high school that had the issue. I went to the doctor and I don't remember what the exact diagnosis/cause of them were but he said something along the lines of, they could cauterize it IF they weren't stopping when treated normally after a few minutes, which mine were, so I just lived with them for about 5-10 years or so and then they went away. It's a minor inconvenience and embarrassment to have to stuff a square of TP up your nose for a few minutes a few times a week, but it wasn't a serious medical issue
I get them due to either getting excessively hot in the summer (despite being hydrated and wearing loose clothing) or when my nose is extremely dry (usually in the fall/winter) after blowing my nose a ton.
They've lessened over the years but even after telling my doctors, they told me that there wasn't much to do since they were infrequent enough for the most part.
Funny enough, I was already anemic despite the nosebleeds (my body really just doesn't make enough) & I'm iron-deficient.

In the world of differential diagnoses for frequent nose bleeds, a graphics, gaming and animation forum is likely to offer little in the way of diagnostic utility beyond personal experiences, friendly advice and educated guesses. It's good you're seeing a GP/physician because that's the best line of call for physical examination, any potentail referrals and piece of mind. Good luck.
I don't want to make you afraid, but it could be really serious, something like leukemia.
Don't waste time and go see a doctor if you can.

Same exact situation. Started randomly when I was about 17 and stopped altogether a couple years later.
Had one go off in the middle of a Calculus test once... that was unfortunate.
My bro-in-law is on acne medicine and in the winter he's getting constant nose bleeds. The acne meds dry his skin out to the max, and combined with weather like we have now it's rough for nose bleeds.
Depends on context. For example, I was splattered by a camper can was I was wee and smashed my nose to fuck and suffered from frequent nose bleeds for ages afterwards.
10 nose bleeds a month for no apparent reason is definitely something you should go to a doctor about, even if it sounds like it's probably a blood vessel.

I used to always get nosebleeds as a kid. I also watched the X-files.
So when scullys nose bleeds were related to brain cancer it really freaked me out. I believe its what started my mild hypochondria.

I have watched a lot of super hero movies so I am a bit of an expert here. Nose bleeds are are a sign that you are pushing yourself too hard and you should only continue if you are saving the world.
Both of my kids are nose bleeders, usually for a couple weeks, 2 o 3 times a week twice a year, like a clock when it gets super hot or in winter.
They have been seen by their pediatrician multiple times and she was never worried or concerned about it, she said many kids are like that, also the bleed usually stops in 10 minutes or less, only if it becomes too frequent and more than once a day or it takes more than 10 minutes to stop then those blood vessels should be cauterized.

My 6 year old gets frequent nosebleeds and docs say its normal. Frequent as in, at least once every month or so. I dont know what to think.
OP

My little bro used to get like 1 every other day, ended up getting his blood vessels cauterized which still didn't help. Eventually it just stopped as he got older, it was weird.
Anyways, is it 10ish every month or just more recently?

Try sleeping with a humidifier and see if that makes a difference.
For some odd reason I have the most sensitive nose on Earth and the second that the humidity is a tad low my nostrils will be dry as fuck and I'll get a nose bleed
just yesterday my nose was bleeding for like 10 mins (def not longest one I've had)

Depends. I used to have them once a day for a couple years, then they slowed down and have picked back up recently after I moved to a much drier climate. I fuck with my nose all the time sadly so that is one reason why too. I essentially don't let my nose repair itself enough and it's an almost daily battle.
I haven't gone to a doc specifically for it in awhile but I can breathe fine and my blood counts are all normal. It's annoying but I don't see a cause for concern OP unless there are new symptoms present that are persistent as well.

I used to get one every other day in high school. Tested positive with tuberculosis. Took medicine for 9 months til it went away.
I mean that's how it was for me, but I understand other people just have different nasal passages built differently and get them when it's too dry or whatever.

I wouldn't worry so much about the frequency but rather if they don't stop.
I had one that lasted 3 hours as a kid, passing blood clots the size of my fist.. I ended up having to have my nose cauterized to stop the bleeding.
I've got allergies and a deviated septum. I'm contemplating fixing it, but y'know Covid and elective surgeries.

It's pretty normal, but as others have said it's just not super common. Some people have conditions that make it happen more frequently, and they can be as boing as thinner nasal passage walls.
Having that much in a month is not normal at all. Go see your doctor. The last time I had a nosebleed was when I was like 10 or 12.
But in serious, 10 is way too many in a month. You should get the checked out.
Poor choice:
