Can anyone advise me about having a very dry nose and some nose bleeds . Had anyone used anything to help ? Thanks in advance
I had some dermal 500 in the house that I used for dry/sore nose (inside). It did help with comfort, though it didn't stop the sores forming. They do get better once chemo ends!
when I was suffering really bad with my nose I used My Little Star New Mum Nipple Cream from Superdrug at £1.29. Worked brilliantly, much thinner and easier to apply and breathe through than the Vaseline.
I guessed if it was safe with baby it would be safe on my nose. My daughter uses it for along sorts of things like sore cracked lips, rashes etc.
worked good for me!
I suffer really badly with this the minute chemo started my oncologist prescribed naseptin and this has been a god send.
