Reddit reviews Ayr Saline Nasal Gel with Soothing Aloe, 4 Count

I had to do 4 cycles of chemo earlier this year. Quickly learned how badly chemo affects the body.

I dried out like a prune. I had a bloody nose for about 4 weeks straight. Not a dripping type, but where it would just kind of hang out, get really sticky and scab up.

I was drinking up to and sometimes more than a gallon of water a day. My skin I could slap a soothing lotion on. But with my nose, everyone recommended Vaseline. I’m not a fan of using petroleum based products, but was desperate for a solution.

My oncologist recommended I use a saline spray. When I was in the pharmacy trying to find some saline spray, which I did buy and I attribute some of the healing from, I found a saline nasal gel with aloe vera.

It was goopy and has a slightly thinner texture than Vaseline, but this stuff works! It actually moisturizes and helps to heal, which is different than Vaseline, which acts as a barrier. Moisture doesn’t get out, but it also can’t get in. Saved my nose from the remainder of chemo.

I’ve since recommended it to a coworker who was going through tons of Aquaphor while on Accutane. She was having the same issue. Bloody nose and scabbing from dry nasal passages. She used it over a weekend and came back and told me how amazing it was.

Ayers Nasal Gel with aloe Amazon link, just in case any one is curious. I highly recommend. Since it sounds like you will inevitably be around smoke again, you may want to pick up a tube.

Put some Vaseline in your nostrils before they start to hurt. It's an uphill battle once they are raw.

Someone pointed out Saline Nasal Gel is far superior to Vaseline. I'll be trying that this year.

Is it winter in your neck of the woods? And do you use a humidifier in your house/bedroom? The nosebleed could have just been dry nasal membranes, And for that, this stuff is literally a godsend. It's so much better than a nasal saline spray and will help your nose heal and keep it moist so you don't get a bleeder again. I usually squeeze it on a qtip and apply to my nose, that lets me get the gel where it needs to be. Shark week is only something your husband can help with :)

Previously to my stupid high dose night whenever I did some cocaine I would always use this for my dry nose: Here

It would work beautifully to keeping my nose in working order and not try.
