Question 2

is bio-oil safe?

Unknown: Any topical products can cause an allergic reaction. Be aware.

Question 3

can bio oil work on freckles?

Accepted Answer

No: It's just another health fraud. I'd urge you to keep your freckles anyway. If you use a freckle remover, even from a dermatologist, you risk disfiguring yourself. Freckles are endearing, they're distinctively you, and a majority of your friends probably like them. Ask them. If you want them less prominent, avoid excess sunlight -- wise in any case.

can you use bio oil for sunburn?

Accepted Answer

Stick to basics: Burns are the response of the tissues to injury from heat. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Depth determines care.  Do not use ice worsens already injured skin. Cool water soaks help as can taking anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily/gently helps.

Hypopigmentation: Hypopigmentation refers to lightening of the skin.  It is a very difficult condition to treat by any means.  There are some lasers and light devices which will help stimulate re pigmentation but these tend to be temporary solutions.  I am not aware of any oils which help improve the appearance of hypopigmented skin

Question 6

Question 7

Accepted Answer

It won't work: It's a health fraud. It won't touch scars. It won't remove freckles. If you use a freckle remover, even from a dermatologist, you risk disfiguring yourself. Freckles are endearing, they're distinctively you, and a majority of your friends probably like them. Ask them. If you want them less prominent, avoid excess sunlight -- wise in any case.

Could yes, but why?: Water soluble lubricant like KY jelly or Sugilube are best. Also wash of more easily.

Question 9

will bio-oil help reduce the appearance of birthmarks?

Accepted Answer

May  be: Bio-oil has minerol oil which can cause skin soft and supple and is great for those with dry skin. In many users, it definitely reduces the appearance of fine lines and spots and may make the scars less red while lightening the skin tone. But if one is allergic to any of the componenets, one should not use it. It may not work for large and old scars.

Question 10

can you explain if it's safe to use bio oil on the penis?

Accepted Answer

Yes,...: Its use to all skin is reasonable to ease age-wrinkle and to "smooth" scars, but avoid all mucosa such as eyes, urethra, vagina, mouth, noses, etc. The result is good in some and unclear or not much in others. So, use it at your own risk-taking and money-spending, and talk with Doc timely. Best wish...
