oxygen and cosmetics

[debbie58]

I've just been put on oxygen at night.  Was wondering about what cosmetics and creams (that are oil based I shouldn't use as they are flammable.  What about hair products?  Seems like a real vainity  question but this is making me a very unhappy camper and I already was pretty unhappy about this whole thing!

You need not worry about the flammability of cosmetics, creams or hair products.  Even if potentially combustible they will not flame-up due to their proximity to low flow oxygen, assuming that you are not smoking cigarettes or are not near any exposed flames, such as candles, while using the oxygen.  Low flow oxygen is very safe.

Good luck.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. If I'm gonna check out, I WANT TO DO IT WITH SOME STYLE.  I Have been told by my pulmonologist, who has ordered up a ct scan, he says to look at my diaphragm, not so much my lungs.  I was really scared about all this, although I've been trying to tell Dr.s for years that I was born with some kind of defect in my diaphragm.  
Big huge baby, with rib cage to far separted and a tendon or actually the diaphragmatic muscle was sprung.  This at the time I was born was usually fatal. If you could comment further I would be eternally grateful.
