Is it safe to put cream inside nostril a few years after rhinoplasty?

October 10, 2018
Asked By:jill22s in Japan, JP

i did alarplasty and ear cartilage on nose tip a few years ago. Now my nose has eczema inside nostril at nose passage there. My doctor (Without knowledge of my nose job) has asked me to put cream (neoderm brand) inside nostril at the eczema area for 1-2 weeks. Is it safe to do so? It is an anti inflammatory anti bacterial anti fungal cream as I see on the package. According to the doctor, it is a steroid and antibiotic cream.

Ali Totonchi, MD says:

Thanks for your question, you need to be seen and have a complete evaluation before we can give you any recommendation, surgery itself can make your nose dry for short period of time or longer, incomplete reduction of blocking structure can also cause blockage of airway. good luck!
