Suggest Treatment For Sore,red And Flaky Nostrils?
the inside of my nostrils gets very sore, red, and flaky. It is very annoying and looks awful sometimes. I have to use makeup if I go anywhere. Not all the time, but a lot of the time. Is neo sporin ok to use? Would aloe Vera be better? and what about Vaseline?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having acute rhinitis leading to congestion and soreness in the nostrils.
You can apply neosporin ointment.
For soothing you can apply vaseline as well.
If infection is more, go ofr one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
