Re: nose flushing and nasal sprays

[Guest guest]

I had some success using Nasalcrom, an otc nasal spray that contains

a substance that stops mast cells from triggering the release of

histamine when you breathe in something that would normally cause

histamine to be released.

About nasal sprays containing cortisone, is it possible that some

people are accidentally getting the spray on the skin on and

surrounding the nose rather than the damage coming from the spray

being used in the nasal passages?

Take care,

I have a similar problem and I don't use nasal sprays. My nose will

often flush of its own accord, regardless whether my cheeks are

flushed or not. They seem to be disconnected in my case. I've been

taking glucosamine daily and am following Dr. Sy's anti-flushing

regimen located here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rosacea-

support/2880.html

Right now my main problem is with the swelling, which is slowly

becoming persistent.
