Who nose?
I have a scratch or something right on the edge of my left nostril. It keeps getting a small scab on it, and I keep removing the scab because it feels like a crusty booger. I will probably develop a staph infection on my nostril.
That being said, I would like to give you a little background on my history of nose problems.
I really love Neosporin. I think this is a great, great invention. Many moons ago, I would have nosebleeds every single day. I went to the doctor and he cauterized the blood vessels in my nose. I still got nosebleeds every single day, and now they HURT! Weird right?
I thought, "Neosporin heals skin. Does it heal nostril linings?" It does!
Now, as an attractive nightly ritual that makes my husband desire me more than steak, I squirt a healthy amount of Neosporin up my nose. Much like a crack addict, I cannot sleep or think about anything else until I have had my fix. (Let's not even talk about Carmex or Aveeno lotion for my hands.)
In light of my recent nose-scratch, I will probably need to expand the Neosporin application to include my whole nose, and perhaps a narrow band of skin around it. Or how about just my whole middle-face?

I know that there are rehab places for crack addicts, but I know of no such place for Neosporin addicts. Good luck!
You are the first person I've ever heard admit an addiction for Neosporin! You are right about the staph thing. Not to alarm you, but there is a lot of staph in one's nose just waiting to get you. Which is why you should never pluck nosehairs; always cut them. Saturday night and I'm writing about nosehairs. I need to get a life.
i always associate nose-staph-infections with my students, because, HELLO THEY PICK THEIR NOSES. so i am sure when i get a large festering sore, people will just think i pick my nose.
i cannot imagine the pain of plucking a nose hair. that makes my eyes water and i want to sneeze!
when i was in the 7th grade, i would also get daily nosebleeds. my mom's solution was to take me to the chiropractor.
each time it happened, and believe me: THEY WERE VERY FREQUENT, the chiropractor would put a dime against my nose, and pick up a tool that looked similar to an electric drill.
then he would take the bit and drill the dime against my nose, and it always scared me because i was sure that one day he would drill right through the dime and i would have a steel bit impaling my nose.
that never happened, though, and eventually the nosebleeds stopped.
Or you could just smear neosporin all over your body... just as a precaution. lol
Jes...that is the weirdest thing I've ever heard a chiropractor do! He went to 7+ years of school for that? :)
Dang...my husband's in the wrong profession!
yes, i worked for a chiropractor for 3 years in college, and when i told him what the other dr. did to me, my chiropractor/dr. thought it was pretty weird, too.
thankfully, I TURNED OUT NORMAL. ;)
I love Neosporin! I use it for my nose for nosebleeds, my face for acne, and for cuts! I love who invented it!
