I was using Vaseline then found out that is a NO NO that put Vaseline in your nasal passage can cause serious lung infections/diseases if used often, so see if yr Doc can prescribe you some cream that's actually for your nasal ulcers. Hope u feel better

Hi Janice,I went through what you're going through and reached out to the Lupus community and a member referred me to a supplement called Lysine. I took.2 a day and 3 days later I could tell a huge difference. It's an over the counter supplement for collagen and tissue maintenance.

Several treatment options have helped others manage nasal ulcers from lupus. Healthcare providers often recommend steroid nasal sprays to reduce inflammation and speed up healing. Some people find relief using medicated rinses, while others benefit from topical numbing gels to help with discomfort. To help prevent and manage ulcers, try these practical tips:
- Identify and avoid your personal lupus triggers
- Use gentle oral care products like soft-bristle toothbrushes
- Maintain good hygiene
- Avoid spicy or acidic foods when ulcers are active
- Consider stress management techniques, as stress can trigger flares
- Stay consistent with your prescribed lupus treatment plan
