I had a sinus infection last week and the undersides of my nose got raw from blowing my nose and wiping it with kleenex so much. What can I do to heal?

In general, that area of the skin will heal pretty well by itself. Sometimes just reducing your inflammation and the amount of work you’re doing on the area can help it heal faster. One technique I know that can help with this is called an “abstinence routine”, where you try to reduce how often you’re doing things that stimulate the tissue in the nose. This is helpful because if you do those things too much, it can actually increase your inflammation and keep the area inflamed longer. Some of the things to try to reduce doing in the nose are:  blowing your nose, sniffing, and picking at your nose.

That was way too long of a reply. It's just dried skin from blowing my nose so much. I just need a recommendation for some lotion or something.
