My nurse today recommended mineral make-up to use on your nose when you get the all clear. You use a brush so less pressure applied on your nose, it also doesn’t harbor as many germs. I also told her I had been using antiseptic cream (gently applied) after I had my cast taken off- the skin I should warn everyone is not good- you get spots and dry skin on your nose. Anyway…she said that was absolutely fine and a good idea. It has helped my skin a lot so I would recommend.
