Owch my nose

Post by Saved n Sassy » Mon Oct 07, 2019 3:59 pm

I've been using Cpap for about 12 years. My nose is now constantly chapped and peeling skin. I've tried many masks and this is my favorite. Dreamware By Respironics. BUT, my poor nose......any suggestions out here?

Buy a single small tube. I got this same recommendation (it works), and went to Amazon for it. "Hey, a 4 pack is a considerable discount". Well, found out that it only takes a little itty-bit for each application. Didn't take long for it to work either, after a while you won't need it anymore.

So here I sit with 3.9 tubes of chapped nipple cream. Don't know how we could ever use it up. Suppose I could ask my wife if she'd like to have another kid. :lol:

Yeah, I've still got probably 90% of the one tube I bought.. :lol: it DOES work great on chapped lips.
though it's not very tasty.

Put it on your elbows and heels--you will love your skin again.
Put it on your dog's paw pads--safe and effective.
If he licks it off, it's only sheep skin oil.
Treat your boots and saddle leathers like they are royalty.

It's also great for a sore nose/chapped nose during a cold. I have used it on my grandkids, and even gave a little to my daughter when she had a really bad cold and had blown her nose raw. She said it felt better overnight!
