Hello all, I've been wondering how to take good care of one's nostrils when they are snorting drugs regularly, like everyday. Some drugs are worse than other right? Like with coke which causes vasoconstriction, but what about other drugs like ketamine? I've had several bouts of k usage, one being right now, and I'm having some dry blood in my left nostril only on the 2nd day of doing it. I've heard picking your nose can also affect nose health in a bad way? I have long nail, so should I just be more careful when cleaning my nose with a tissue? I usually blow my nose and then put my finger in a tissue and clean my nose like that. Should I refrain from blowing my nose too often also? How should I care for my nose while I'm actively snorting every hour? Does it differ from the ''off'' times during the day when I don't snort? I usually wait until night time to snort again.

Thank you everyone in advance for your input :)
 
When I slept at night I used coconut oil,in the morn my nose would be fine,never had blood or scabbing.Worked for me is all I know,never rinsed with tap water either,if I ever had an issue ,Id press a very warm green tea bag to my nostril for relief.Some tissues are irritating to my nose.

So you rub coconut oil on the inside of your nose? That sounds like a good idea.
 
If you get a nose bleed/infection add some polysrin using a q-tip it promotes healing.
 
You know if your talking about polysporin ,its found not to be so good for mucous membranes.

Thanks for the tip, I have never use polysrin before. But I wasn't talking about an ''actual'' nose bleep. Just some very light bleeding that I only notice until later on when I blow my nose.
 
I don’t think a tissue is a good idea. There’s a risk of more irritation. Personally, I use a hypertonic product and a nasal spray with sesame oil, that one is great. I also use Bepanthen cream preventively from time to time and apply it as gently as possible with cotton swabs.

Appreciate your post , helping another,I wasn't attempting to doubt your advice. I've had horrid reactions to polysporin, so I know alot about it.Sure dope isn't good for your nose.

Is there any dope that is good for your nose? Just curious... Anyone?

Not that I like snorting anything these days...

The only thing that goes up my nose is my finger. I have impeccable nasal hygiene, you know. My nails are pretty grotty mind...
