Can I use coconut oil to soften crust in nose?

November 25, 2016
Asked By:Mar J in East Aurora, NY

I had perforated septum repair using cartilage from my ear about 24 days ago. I'm still stuffed up and have problem with a dry crust buildup on my septum. I use saline spray and a humidifier to no avail. I've carefully removed a small amount with my finger, but need something to make them softer. Would coconut oil help?
