Question 1

extreme itching after shave legs. no bumps, just red from scratching. lotion, aloe vera, vaseline, shaving cream, etc doesnt help. new razor?

hi, my 2yr old fell at school on her face last week. the fall resulted in a circular wound on her forehead which is now pink. ive been using aloe vera, vaseline with a little vitamin e oil. how long does the skin stay pink before darkening up?

Question 5

are there any natural remedies for anal fissures that are proven to work? i applied vaseline and stopped nitroglycerin. aloe vera plant, coconut, etc?

Accepted Answer

Unproven but helpful: I don't know of any "proven" to work but that does not mean they won't work- there is little research on natural remedies as no one can patent ; profit from them but they often help. For things to try see http://www.Optimalhealthnetwork.Com/anal-fissures-s/191.Htm

Question 6

what is better for acne vaseline or aloe?

Accepted Answer

Neither: Topical antiacne treatments will be better.

Question 7

16mo old son has diarrhea 4 the last 2 days and has caused a terrible rash. prev medication ointment not working. aloe & vaseline & powder not fixing?

Accepted Answer

Zind oxide: Irritative rashes from diarrhea in toddlers ae amongst the most stubborn rashes to cure. Try and get some daily air into that area - let him run around diaperless outside - who cares if he poops or pees on the lawn? Then, a diaper cream that has zinc oxide may be more useful - some brand names: triple paste, butt paste, desitin, (zinc oxide diaper cream) or generic zinc oxide.

Question 8

whats better for little cuts on face vaseline or aloe?

Accepted Answer

Neither.: Just keep the cut clean. You can apply an antibiotic ointment or cream if you wish, but it's not necessary. And keep the area covered lightly with a bandaid; cuts heal more quickly when they are covered.

Question 9

A pregnant lady should be under the care of a doctor for the sake of her and her baby's health. You should see a doctor for pre-natal care and discuss your health issues with her/him.
Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
