Can i use a face moisturizer with arnica in it without damaging long term results post rhinoplasty ?

neenz12Apr 19, 2019
Theres this aloe vera gel i want to get my hands on which helps with blackheads that have been driving me crazy since I got rhinoplasty but one of the few ingredients is arnica so im wondering if its safe to use on my nose or could it cause damage to my long term results. Im 4 months and a half post rhinoplasty. I have added pictures of the product and ingredients. Thank you for your help!

Hi thanks for your question. Without photos its really hard to say something about your situation. I don't know what comes out of the nose.  But you must tell your doctor.  Be careful with the infection.  You should see your doctor as soon as possible.

The use of Rogaine in many male Rhinoplasty patients is quite common. This will have no effect on your surgery

Hello, This shouldn't have caused a significant damage. If the area becomes infected, make sure you see a doctor and get antibiotics.
