Hello,\rThanks for posting your query.\r\rAfter the surgery, the nose may be cleaned on the outside with cotton-tipped swabs that have been moistened with hydrogen peroxide, but it is important that it is not rubbed too vigorously. This can be followed by some saline spray and mupurocin ointment/ Neosporin ointment. But it will be best that you discuss it with your operating surgeon before applying any Mupirocin or Neosporin ointment.\r\rCoating of Vaseline can loosen crusts but application of Neosorpin is better.\r\rHope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.
