Question 1

showered 1 day & my chest started burning, it left scabs that fell off, now i have dark marks on chest. using aloe vera & cocoa butter. will it work?

Accepted Answer

NO: What is on your chest? Acne? There are effective treatments for acne. You are using benzoyl peroxide and doxycycline. I doubt that you have rosacea. Aloe and butter will not help you. If your present treatment is not effective you can change. Spironolactone will probably work well. If not you can rescue from acne with isotretinoin. See a dermatologist.

Accepted Answer

Steroid: You probably need a topical steroid that your dermatologist can prescribe to you.

Question 3

Not necessarily: A certain percentage of people are sensitive to aloe vera and develop skin irritation. I would wash the aloe vera off. Take care.

Question 4

i popped this big pimple on the side of my nose.it scabbed over and i was putting aloe vera on it.how can i get the scab to heal faster?photo day near

Accepted Answer

Leave it alone: Big pimples go away quickly with local steroid injections. Squeezing just makes pimples grow larger and last longer. If there's just a crust, leave it alone or use a little vaseline on top. If there's still a lump, a steroid injection might help. Topical aloe has no known value.

Accepted Answer

Aloe vera is: Exceptionally helpful for some types of burn healing. Here is the issue - most popular products containing aloe vera  don't have a high enough concentration to get the job done well. Thus, using the sap from an actual aloe vera plant is the best way to go.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

NOT A MYTH!!!: There are several quality research studies conducted in recent years proving that oral aloe vera extracts consistently lower fasting blood sugar and glycohemoglobin (Hb A1C). The Hb A1C was reduced as much as 22.6%, which is very impressive. See http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/731244
While the authors of that review feel the research "does not warrant" recommending it, it is safe &amp; affordable.
