Nose erosion

[LucyP91]

Hi,I'm new here but really wanted some advice.
Recently due to a family matter I have been taking cocaine alot more but I have never been this way.
My nose started to burn and feel raw so when I finally checked the skin inside looked like it either had a layer missing or a dent.
I am staying off the cocaine now as really don't want to end up with a hole but I want to know what would be the best course of action to help it heal and soothe it.

Thank you for reading and your help.

Lucy:

Your nose will heal, but you need help with this dependency on cocaine.   There will ALWAYS be a "good" reason to get high.   Life is a serious of great things and bad things.  

I know you didn't ask for help with cocaine use, but this is a forum for people in recovery.   Do you want to stop for good?   Cocaine is absolutely awful for the body; especially your heart.     So many of my rock-n-roll heros from the 1970's and 1980's are dying young from heart attacks...and it's directly related from years of cocaine abuse when they were younger.   David Bowie had a heart attack right on stage about 15 year ago---he was a coke-head.  

Think about things Lucy..and it you want to stop permanently, come back here..there is a TON of support.  Good luck.

I have stopped for now. I know my nose needs to heal and I'm hoping that if I stay off because of this I won't want to go back.
And it wasn't a family member making me, it was a year anniversary recently of a close family members death. Just not been in a good place

I will say use some vasaline in your nose, coat the inside if raw do that it can heal a bit faster. But i too am a bit stumped with question....did i read a family member is MAKING u do more coke than normal?

You should be fine by stopping your use of cocaine.  You said you are staying off the cocaine now.  Does that mean for good?
