The evaporation may make it  worse.\nTry holding a cold damp washcloth on it, provided you do not have a problem with laundry detergent or fabric softener.

Sounds like you have to get more air circulating.\nChances are you have a carpet in your room also.\nDust has to be removed off dressers. Carpets really get\nimbedded time over time with dust among other things.\nThese things absorbs moisture and good air flow which can cause your dryness. Hopefully you are not around smoke neither, smoke from woodburning can cause it too. Good Luck

104\nCold compress on your head should help and try to keep the ambient temperature in the room a bit lower.

If your central heat is electric it really can dry the air a lot. Central heat that uses natural gas will add moisture to the air. But if you are uncomfortable, try simmering water on your stove while you are home to add moisture to the air. You can add sliced oranges or lemons, cloves, and cinnamon sticks to the pot for added comfort. Just be sure to keep an eye on the pot and add water as needed to keep the potpourri from burning. If you think it makes a difference then you might want to consider buying a humidifier.

Clean it with canned air. There is not much you can do to prevent the dust unless you meticulously clean your room every day

get a damp paper towel and run it across the tip a couple of times, that will at least help a lot

I got the Vick's cool air humidifier.  (the cool air is supposed to be better)   I think it was about $30 and works pretty well.\n\nI wouldn't' think that trying to make one at home would be a good idea.  Something about sticking my head over a hot pot of water just doesn't sound safe.

The one by Vicks.  Assuming you meant a vaporizer.\nIt uses steam, and the only downfall to this is possible burning if a child gets too close to the steam outlet.\n\nVaporizers that 'nebulize', also send particles into the air that appears as a white/grey "dust" on your furniture after a while.  Your child is breathing that dust in as well.  That's why I turned to steam, as it is pure and near if not completely sterile when emitted from the unit.\n\nHumidifiers are a whole different ballgame.  If you Truly meant HUMIDIFIERS, then add that to your detail in the question, and you will get different answers.
