I have an oily nose and the thought of having it in a splint for a week after surgery is uncomfortable. Is there any medication/oil absorption stuff that doctors can put on the nose post surgery and while the splint is ON? At what point can one wash their NOSE after surgery? In my case, should I expect pimples right after week 1 as my nose will be wrapped in splint for a week?
