When the skin on your nose starts peeling

because you are blowing so much…what do you do?

No no, those lotion tissues don’t work. Rubbing Eucerin or Aquaphor does give some relief, but any other effective remedies?

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

oooh that gets really painful.. i switched to kleenex and it was better. i used jergens around that area and that helped alot.

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

put some petroleum jelly when you sleep..it gives long term relief.
I hope it helps Nikky:hugz:

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

Oh thanks Shay & Asky. I've had the most terrible recurring colds this past couple of months. I'm truly fed up!

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

start taking more Vitamin C and also Nikky are you sure they are colds and not Allergies etc

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

I am so good with my vitamins and they do start off as allergies...excessive sneezing, watery eyes and runny nose...but this time they've pogressed to body aches, shivers and colds. More like a viral.

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

hey have you ever tried Air Purifiers for the room...There is this Honeywell one thats in Target.Allergist recommended and very reasonably priced. It helps a lot if you have nasal allergies.

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

I have a very good one Ask. You know, I've been well all year pretty much, just a few little issues here and there, but the last 2 months have been really bad. I thought I was perfectly OK then all of a sudden got sick again. Actually, we have had a lot of sick kids at the masjid where I volunteer. We sit and teach and they cough and wipe their noses. Poor kids. Some of them keep coming even though we've told the parents not to send kids with obvious symptoms.

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

Oh so thats the reason. Then no suggestions other then maybe the flu shot…and :hmmm:…what about …a mask maybe:D

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

I wish I could do that, but hopefully the flu season ends soon and I can breathe better. Bohot ho gaya :bummer: This year I did not get the flu shout :hmmm:

Vaseline works always Niksik.. :) I've seen that a room humidifier really works.. my brother has sinus issues and poor thing he usually has a stuffy nose and is miserable.

Steam inhalations are a great thing too.. add a teaspoon of vicks to it!

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

Gina, last night I used a humidifier with Vick steam drops in it...I don't know why I don't use it more often because today I feel so much better, alhamdullilah.

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

Niksik, i get this too in the winter esp, and i use vaseline (petroleum jelly) every night and it really helps :)

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

i hardly ever get a runny nose. Have you gotten flu-shot this winter?

Re: When the skin on your nose starts peeling

No I didn’t FF. :bummer:

It's the best thing! Makes breathing so much easier..
