Nose sores

Post by Merryj » Sun Nov 03, 2013 6:21 pm

Haven't had this in the three years I have been using my machine. But I have a sore in my nose. Any suggestions on what I can do to make it heal?

When it's my nose, I dig out the valacyclovir on the chance it's a cold sore.

I have taken a Q tip and applied a little Neosporin in the mornings. By bed time the Neosporin is gone and the mask is good to use.
