Daniel Hilo, HI	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Feb 25, 2007 Judged: 1 1 1 My nose is dry which leads to nosebleeds. Ive been having frequent nosebleeds and its been bugging the heck out of me (and can you say embarrassing) is there any way to help with this? is moisturizing your nose even an option (=p)? please help!! thanks in advance!!
Katherine Peoria, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Feb 25, 2007 Judged: 1 It might help to add humidity to your air, especially when you sleep. Maybe a room humidifier for your bedroom would help. In winter the heat from the furnace seems to dry out the air.
sasson Since: Feb 07 15 Tustin, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Feb 26, 2007 Judged: 1 1 Vaseline or Neosporin definitely helps with dryness in the nose. I just put a very small amount on a q-tip and swab in each nostril. I do this in the morning after I wash up, and at bedtime. So far, no nosebleeds. Good luck!

Randa Grand Rapids, MI	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Mar 25, 2007 Judged: 1 1 All you have to do is buy a saline nasal spray from your local drug store and use it as needed, which is probably alot. That is the dermatologists say. It works, try it out.
celia Albuquerque, NM	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Apr 17, 2008 Judged: 1 1 1 are you sure it can get into your lungs?i would think it would go down your throat before going to your lungs. does anyone know?
stefi Saint Albert, Canada	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Aug 4, 2009 Judged: 2 do i have to use vaseline or nasal spray for the rest of my life? i hope there is a complete cure. tired of nose bleeding.

RLA Los Angeles, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #9 Aug 5, 2009 Judged: 1 It should only be a temporary problem until you finish your accutane treatment. You can try rubbing Aquaphor up there to keep it moisturized.
Miriam San Diego AOL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #10 Aug 12, 2009 Judged: 1 I have had four nose bleeds in the last four months. Very highly seasoned foods can cause nose bleeds. Any harsh food can cause nose bleeds especially with someone that already has the tendency. I now use vaseline, and so far so good. Obviously you should not put anything into your nose except for very gently using a q-tip.
stefi Saint Albert, Canada	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #11 Sep 25, 2009 is it true that vasaline can get into the lungs? i ve been applying two to five times a day. i ve been cleanin my nose with the saline water using small bottle. it really helps to clear out dry mucous.
KMR Fairfield, NJ	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #12 Sep 25, 2009 RLA Got it right, just use aquaphor, I have the same problem and the aquaphor works just perfect!
Laundry Syracuse, NY	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #13 Dec 8, 2009 Judged: 1 1 1 Vaseline is petroleum based, and when you breath in the vapors they can (in the very worst case) coat your lungs and possibly lead to pneumonia.
mak Houston, TX	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #14 Feb 17, 2010 what about coating nostrils with olive oil?
Greg Somerset, NJ	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #15 Jul 23, 2010 There is a great new product made from pharmaceutical-grade sesame oil called NozAmi. It makes your nose feel much more moist and much more comfortable. I have been using it since 2008 and haven't had a nosebleed since!
Alex Bridgewater, NJ	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #16 Jan 13, 2011 Judged: 1 1 1 Yes Vaseline or any other petroleum-based moisturizer can cause a form of pneumonia if it gets inside your lungs.

SonsMom Rochester, NY	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #17 Jan 17, 2011 My son had this problem and the derm told him to put neosporin in his nose.
SonsMom Rochester, NY	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #18 Jan 17, 2011 BTW, he's been off for almost a year and the nosebleeds only really lasted a couple weeks during treatment.

You can ask your doctor for a certain "surgery". The basically put a something (i forgot the name) up your nose, after they numb you, and you leave it in for 20 minutes or so. They take it out and you'll be numb for a while but no nosebleeds. I did that when i was 10 and had no problems since. I'm 16 now.

Where did you read that? I read the only way it is dangerous is if you inhale a big glob of it, not the fumes.
