Is It Ok to Bleach Nasal Hair? (7 Months Post Open Rhinoplasty)

myb
I had open rhinoplasty 7 months ago. Since then my nasal hair is visible. A couple of moths ago I decided to bleach my nasal hair with Sally Hansen Creme Hair Bleach for Face. I've been very careful using it and don't go deep into my nostrils, just the edges where the hair is visible. Today I was reading online that this is not a good idea and that bleaching hair on nostrils can lead to brain and lung damage. Is this true? Should I stop? I'm really scared now, please help !
