Wouter and Stefanie lost their nasal septum due to cocaine: ‘Suddenly skin and bone came out of my nose’

“If you continue like this, your nose will rot completely,” the doctor warned. Ex-users Stefanie (34) and Wouter tell how they were told that their cocaine use rotted away their nasal septum and the complications that entailed. Nose, throat and ear doctors are seeing noticeably more patients with severe nasal complaints due to cocaine. “Damage can occur from one time or only from the hundredth time.”
