Hamsters can actually get nosebleeds like us!

Causes are, but not limited to:
•stress
• bump to the face
• dry air (which dries out the nasal passages)
• repeated sneezing from dust or resp irritation.

What substrate are you using?

Have you checked the humidity in the room? Central heating can dry the air out which in turn dries skin out. Aim for the humidity to be about 50%.
