A member asked:
I have a chronic nose dryness. i also have allergies. saw ent. does nose dryness cause cracks inside the nose? is saline spray better to use than gel
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nose dryness: Yes, dry nasal mucus membranes are the cause of those cracks and can cause nose bleeds. Applying gel or small amounts of white Vaseline each night helps. If your bedroom is too dry from heating system or air conditioning, get a humidifier
