A member asked:
Can u put chapstick on your nose if you have oxygen i'm getting sores on my nose from my nasal canula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I believe you can as long as you are not allergic to it. You should just check to make sure that it does not destroy the nasal cannulaor interfere with the delivery of the oxygen.
