Dear RealSelf community. Im now 4 months post rhino. Whenever I take a shower my nose looks very flaky and has dry patches. After my nose is dry it still has dry patches. My nose never had these before I underwent rhino. Is this to be expected? Thank you.
This red patch is partially due to rhinoplasty and an accident. If it's not constantly moisturized, it gets redder and flakey. What treatments would lessen the redness? I'm concerned because the skin seems very, very fragile and I don't want to do anything that would exacerbate the situation.
I had a rhinoplasty about 2 weeks ago. The skin on tip and the sides of my nose are flaky and dry. I have used several moisturizers but nothing has helped so far. I have been washing my face with lukewarm water, gently with a wet washcloth but the tip of my nose is very sensitive. Any advice? I want to wear makeup, but everything seems to be clinging onto the dry skin patches on my nose, making everything look worse than it is.
I had rhinoplasty surgery 17 days ago and the skin on my nose is still awful! Pimples galore and I can't squeeze them cause my Nose is still very tender. And it's also quite dry and flakey at th same time! Has anyone else had this problem and have any idea how to fix it?? I've tried Manuka honey, savlon, coconut oil, toothpaste nothing seems to help. Any suggestions appreciated!
I had my surgery on July 14th, and it is August the 2nd now. Whenever I wash my nose, it is covered with a white, slimy film afterwards. i usually take a tweezer and gently flake the dead skin off. What is causing this? Is it swelling?
