There are a number of different. The first is a malfunction in how the nervous system controls. In women, rhinitis can also be caused by hormonal changes such as an increase in oestrogen. It is thought that food, for some reason, causes vessels in the nose to dilate. In your longer letter, you described two very important tests, and I am relieved they came back clear. The first was to check that the nasal discharge was not due to a leak of cerebrospinal fluid, the clear fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord. There is a thin sheet of bone at the top of the nose that separates the nasal passages from the brain, called the cribriform plate. Even a minor head injury can trigger a crack in this plate, triggering fluid to leak down the nose. A chemical test can detect this fluid. You also tell me you had an endoscopy — where a long, thin, flexible camera is put up the nose to check for nasal polyps or other abnormal growths. These tests came back negative, and you have been told to regularly use an alkaline nasal douche. This should be made from a teaspoon of ordinary salt (not sugar) and a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in a pint or so of water, and stored in a bottle in the fridge. Snorted up twice daily, this can be very soothing to an irritated or inflamed nasal lining. I suspect there has been an error of communication with yourself as I have never heard of sugar being recommended as opposed to salt — something for you to check with the clinic where you were treated and advised. If this fails, another option is a spray containing ipratropium, which must be prescribed by your GP. Studies have shown that it is effective. I hope you find relief. By the way.. Liquid soap is ruining my hands. A dermatologist was telling me recently about the increasing number of patients he’s been seeing with a troublesome allergy to a commonly used preservative, methylisothiazolinone. This is found in many products we all use. At low concentrations it’s highly effective as a biocide — an agent added to prevent unwanted growth of bacteria and yeasts. In cosmetics the preservative is added to foundations, eye- shadow, and moisturisers; it is also used in shampoos and conditioners, liquid soaps, baby wipes and bubble baths. Check the ingredients of your soap if you have recently developed irritated, cracked or itchy skin. It’s also in household products such as paint, adhesives, printing inks, polishes, detergents and fabric softeners. The substance is safe and non- toxic but European regulations now permit stronger concentrations than previously allowed. It seems these greater quantities to which we are all exposed could be increasing the incidence of skin trouble. The problem is that the additive is so widespread that when an eczema or dermatitis occurs it can be very difficult to track down the culprit. And once you do identify it as the source of your trouble, it is difficult to avoid. General practice has for some time been banned from using good old- fashioned bars of soap, due to regulators believing soap was in some way dangerous, and could harbour bugs, so we are obliged to use liquid soaps. Within months of starting to use these I suffered a painful cracking eczema on my fingertips, so severe that I could not even do up my shirt buttons. For a long while, I was unable to work out the cause, but what is effectively an industrial injury did slowly resolve after I started to use an eczema emollient (Dermol) as a soap substitute. Now my hypersensitivity has become quite a problem as most bathrooms and most public washrooms supply liquid soaps, and though fragrant and delightful to use, even one single exposure triggers a cascade reaction and within hours my fingertips are cracked, peeling and very sore, taking days to recover despite frequent use of safe moisturisers, cortisone creams and all measures. The only way to avoid this compound is to check the ingredients list. Be aware of this widespread and escalating problem, and if you know anyone who has recently developed irritated, cracked or itchy skin, and previously had healthy skin, alert them to this potential source of trouble.
