Hello -
Sometime in early December I got a cold with nasal conjestion. The cold went away in about a week, but left the openings to my nostrils red and flaky. It calmed down a tad, but all winter long its still a little irrtated. I tried Neospirin for some time, no luck. I tried facial lotion, no luck. Then I tried 1% hydrocortisone and it seemed to help. But it won't just go way completely and if i do blow my nose it seems to come back. I know the winter can be dry, I have added a humidifer to my bedroom, it seems to help a little.
Should I keep putting on the hydrocortisone twice a day? I have been using if for about 10 days, I have backed off a little bit and I have blown my nose some in the past few days and it looks like its irritated again.
thanks.
