Accepted Answer

Dry nostrils are a common side effect that many people experience during chemotherapy treatment. Some gentle options that others in the community have found helpful include using a saline nasal spray, applying a small amount of petroleum jelly or water-based nasal gel inside the nostrils, using a humidifier in your room, and staying well-hydrated throughout the day. It's always best to check with your care team before trying new remedies to make sure they're safe with your specific treatment plan.

I had this problem, too. I used a nasal saline spray and Aquaphor. This combo worked great.
