Dry nostrils (inside) sorry if tmi
Hi!
I guess with the changing season, the inside of my nose is so dry and it flakes, making me look like i got boogers! it's so irritating too. i keep squeezing my nose to hopefully make some moisture.
Is there any lotion i can use that won't make me get pimples, or are you going to suggest saline spray?

Have you tried saline? Washes your nostrils too.

I swear the Rx sprays make it worse. I like the saline spray and it works more than you might expect it to.

I don't know if this will help but before I go to bed I put very little vaseline on a Q-tip and moisture my nose with it, my nose gets very dry with heat in the house...HTH....

I do the same. My nose also gets really dry inside with the change in weather and I get more nosebleeds as the weather gets cooler. The vaseline really helps. I also carry a tube with me with Q Tips to use during the day if I need it.

I swab my nostrils with saline when they get dry. Works wonderfully!

This is what I do in the winter too. Right before bed, and it really helps

Re: Dry nostrils (inside) sorry if tmi
Putting vaseline on a q-tip and swabbing the inside of your nose helps. I will do this before bed when it's really dry in my house.
You could also try a nasal gel, like this one:
Ayr nasal gel
-Restores moisture to dry and irritated nasal membranes
-Formulated to be compatible with delicate nasal tissue
-Gentle enough for babies and year-round use
-Provides long-lasting moisturization
-Recommended for day and night-time use

Try sleeping with a humidifier to add moisture to the air. That will help.

That's the stuff! It's a miracle worker.

They make a saline gel spray that is a bit more hydrating
