What Should I Do After Accidentally Spilling Amyl Nitrate In My Nostrils Leading To Painful Scabs?
Question: I spilled some amyl nitrate in my nostrils and while I washed it immediately, dry and painful scabs have formed in my nostrils.
Brief Answer:
Applying coconut oil will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Contact with amyl nitrate can cause a rash, skin irritation and dryness. It can be associated with dizziness and watery eyes. You need to apply some coconut oil or aloe vera gel to make the area less irritable. This is usually not worrisome and is likely to subside in next 2-3 days
