don't use vaseline it can get into your lungs and you don't want that...

Only a small amount, don't inhale a glob of it and your fine. Did you read the entire article you got that from? That's the problem with internet advice...

I am currently on my fifth course of Accutane from http://z-isotretinoin.info . When I began my first course in 2003 as a 14-year-old, I had extremely severe cystic acne. My face, neck, throat, chest, and back were all covered with acne. I had absolutely no self confidence whatsoever. To be perfectly honest, I hated my life. Within two months of beginning Accutane, my acne began to improve. By the time my first course was finished, I had gone from having severe cystic acne to completely acne-free. I had regained my confidence, and I began to truly enjoy life.

I've recently been diagnosed with asthma and am under the care of a pulmonologist (lung doctor). Yes, vapors alone can cause pneumonia. You do not have to inhale a "glob" of it, as Baris Panko stated above. Be aware that not only Vaseline can cause pneumonia, but any items that are scented such as essential oils, perfumes, and scented cleaning products.
My pulmonologist recommends that everyone eliminate all products that are scented. She and her children have healthy lungs. In their home, they do NOT use scented products such as room fresheners and perfumes. They use UNscented dryer sheets and laundry detergent.
Most of us don't think much about it but our lungs are exposed to and assualted on a daily basis by other irritants out of our control (such as car exhaust and the fumes produced by manufacturing plants). If we minimize our exposure through the things we can control, we are actually protecting the health of our lungs. It's easy to take your lung health for granted. Believe me, I know!

Try BreatheZen nasal spray. If your nose is really dry and scabby it will help rinse your nose out. It works pretty good.

I have the same problem and I use polysporin or even a chap stick if I don't have any around. I put it on my baby finger (clean of course). I have tried the salt water (saline)but I don't find it is all that good for my dried nose since salt drys not moisturizes. Saline is good for flushing to get rid a contaminates like pollen dust etc. Good for allergies. I put 1/4 tsp of glycerine 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 baking soda (not powder) into 8oz filtered water for my saline solution. I was really impressed how the glycerine works well for moisturizing.
Hope this helps someone :}

I wouldn't use vaseline! No way! It's petroleum product and doesn't allow the skin to breathe. I had great success with product called Dry Nose from Baraka. Check it out at www.sinussupport.com

Has anyone tried polysporne

I had a cold and after all the nose blowing, I got bloody crust in the nostrils. I went to the ENT Doctor and he told me to use Aquafor or Boroleum. I tried the Aquafor on a Q-tip for 2 days and it cleared up completely.

T. How often do,you use it? Just I'm winter I ask because I have been bleeding on and of for two weeks, sometime 5 x a day I pinch nose for 15 minutes and it stops but really could use any advise..

I've tried both original brand and generic accutane. I prefer generic accutane - There is no difference in effectiveness as far as I can tell between the brand and generic versions. The real difference is price, no comparison. And this suppliers seem honest and reliable. On the site http://z-isotretinoin.info I've just placed my 3rd order.
