I'd bring him/her to the vet.

is the blood coming out of the nostril or from a wound on the nose? If a wound, it can just be from rubbing his snout on the cage wall or screen. Topical antibiotics applied on the nose with a Q-tip will help prevent infection though still need to figure out why the dragon is rubbing his nose on everything. Cage could be too small, it can be trying to get something outside the cage (ie to mate if you have more than one dragon, or he can see his food).
If the blood is oozing out of his nostrils, then vet asap. Bleeding from the nose can be caused by a serious Upper respiratory infection, parasites, a blow to the head or face (from a fall, being hit, or something falling on your dragon) and will need to be looked at immediately.
