Question 1

my daughter has a rash all over her face down her neck and down her arms. she has had it for two days now. its not red, i have put aloe vera gel on it?

Accepted Answer

Be seen: It could be many things.  Have her see her physician for an exam and diagnosis.

Question 2

is it safe to apply aloe vera gel to eyelids?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol free OK: Aloe vera fresh from the plant leaf should be safe, just avoid products containing alcohol.

Question 3

is it safe to use aloe vera gel (usually sold for sunburn relief), daily as a moisturizer? seems to work well for me...

Accepted Answer

YES, very safe!: Aloe vera has a wide range of health benefits and is very good for your skin, whether you are sunburned or not! for a nice article on the many benefits of aloe see http://www.Naturalnews.Com/021858_aloe_vera_gel.Html.

Question 4

is it safe to masturbate with aloe vera gel wirh lidocaine (0.50%)?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't: Lidocaine is an anesthetic that can trigger two issues. It could mask the pain that would warn you of tissue injury and some can develop an allergy to this molecule with repeated use. Since it is an important anesthetic I would not want to make it useless for you in the future.

Question 5

is it safe to use aloe vera, solarcaine, sunburn relief gel with .5 lidocaine as anal lube?

Accepted Answer

Anal lubricant:  Are you asking about using 3 different products as an anal lubricant.? The tissues of the anus are delicate. Don't recommend using all of these different substances.

Question 6

is it safe to handle food after using antibacterial hand gel? the one i used had aloe vera in it also.

Accepted Answer

Hand washing: Antibacterial handgels are supposed to be better than handwashing.  You will notice in most hospital and hositap eating areas they have the antbacterial hand gels mounted on the walls.

Question 7

can you tell me if the use of aloe vera gel or any other supplement would help a teenager with a tic disorder? thank you

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: I would not think that aloe vera gel would be helpful in any way for a tic disorder.  There are some supplements that might legitimately help: GABA supplementation (which would have a calming effect(.  Also l-theanine.    Use of high dose, high potency fish oil, for nerve cell membrane stabilization and decrease in irritability, might also be helpful.   Good luck!

Question 8

is it safe to wash my face (to help treat acne) with aloe vera gel that contains 0.50% lidocaine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Why not do something for your acne that actually works? Topical benzoyl peroxide's the only over-the-counter that will touch it. A physician can add topical Clindamycin or a retinoic acid derivative. If this isn't successful, a systemic antibiotic or something stronger from a dermatologist. This is the 21st century -- all acne's manageable.

Question 9

thinking of buying the now brand aloe vera gel caps but they are 5, 000mg, is that too high & what is a safe dose per day?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are conditions for which aloe has been shown to be safe and helpful, and conditions for which it has been shown to be ineffective and/or unsafe.  Taken orally, aloe has the potential to mess up blood sugar and blood electrolytes (sodium, potassium, etc.).  Before you begin taking capsules of anything, know what they are for and talk to a professional about whether they are safe.

Question 10

can i use vitamin e evion 600 with aloe vera gel to treat chickenpox scars ? is it safe and effective. or should i see a doctor?? please advice.

Accepted Answer

Both: have been noted to be helpful in diminishing the cosmetic effect of scars however it is UNUSUAL for Chicken Pox to leave scars since ONLY the superficial layer of skin is involved! I would get your skin checked out by a Dermatologist...you may be a "keloid" former
(abnormal scar generation)
