A member asked:
My left nostril has been bleeding periodically for the last four months. never before that. for how long should i apply daily vaseline treatments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Change vaseline to K: Change vaseline to KY, then continue forever if there is no ulcer. If there is a sore on the OUTSIDE of the nostril, it is probably a cancer. IF you have a visible lesion, return to your dermatologist.
