Suggest Treatment For Cracked Skin In Nostril
Question: the skin is cracked inside my nostril. it may be from an infected hair or perhaps me fussing with it too much. What can I put on it to speed up healing? Perhaps neosporin? I am already on an antibiotic for an infected fingernail.
Brief Answer:
Keeping the area moist is important. Glycerine may help
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HeathcareMagic.
I understand your concerns but would insist you not to get too concerned. You may apply some glycerine or emollient over the area for faster healing. Neosporin can also be applied. The antibiotic that you already are on, would provide protection. Please do not worry. It should heal up soon.
