Trying to prevent dry nose, which can contribute to nosebleeds.
I've read that applying Vaseline to nostrils can help.
Do you think that Aquaphor would be just as good, or better (because it's water-soluble)?

Hello! There is something called Ayr gel that keeps the nose moist. It may be helpful to you.

Yes, dry air is a major issue. Unfortunately it’s likely to get worse as cool weather arrives outside. And so try to figure out how to keep the humidity in the house up. I take another blood thinner, Eliquis, and get light nosebleeds occasionally, which I’ve been assured are no big deal and no reason to stop the blood thinner and risk something worse. Good luck

My mom had terrible trouble with nosebleeds when our family moved from California to Colorado. Her doctor also suggested she put petroleum jelly in her nose. Seemed to help her.
