Question 1

what is better for pimples, benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil?

Accepted Answer

Benzyl peroxide: Tea free oil not effective.

Question 2

used aloe vera gel mixed with tea tree oil on my entire face. and apply benzoyl peroxide cream just on my acne? will it worsen my acne if i do that?

Accepted Answer

Acne: Some people's skin is very sensitive to Aloe Vera as well as to Tea Tree Oil. Benzoyl peroxide can be quite irritating to acne. There is potential for problems with this concoction of ingredients.

Question 3

have a benzoyl peroxide cleanser, a salicylic acid cleanser, tea tree oil, and some aloe vera gel. how can i use these together effectively to treat acne?

Accepted Answer

May not work: Use the topical benzoyl peroxide as you can tolerate, a daily wash with the salicylic acid, tea tree oil only if you are a female (it's made men grow breasts), leave the aloe vera unused. This will clear you only if your acne is mild. If it's on your trunk is producing scars or isn't gone in two weeks, get with your physician who can add prescription-strength Rx.

Question 4

tea tree oil mixed with my cleanser helps me with my papules. can i mix it with an oil combination (vit e and jojoba oil) to make it more effective ?

Accepted Answer

The joke is on you: Not one of these things has any effect on acne. In fact they are all a WASTE OF MONEY. By "papules" you may be referring to acne. There are effective treatments for acne. They really work. The main problem is that they must not be used during pregnancy or nursing. A dermatologist can help you. Meanwhile you can try 2 1/2% or 5% benzoyl peroxide gel, which might help after 2 or 3 months.

Question 5

how should i mix lavender oil and tea tree oil to get rid of acne?

Accepted Answer

Don't bother.: I see patients all the time who have tried tea tree oil + various other oils; their acne is no better, but they do complain of dryness, itching, stinging, burning, and redness. At least 1 published study showed that tea tree oil can cause abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia) in boys. So don't waste your time & money; let a dermatologist prescribe legitimate acne remedies for you.

Question 6

i have had a mildewy smell down there & itching at times.  i've seen doctors &  have been treated for bv , trich .  with flagyl , metro.  it came back.  so i've been using tea tree oil & garlic.  today i also began peroxide.  can you please tell me exactl

Accepted Answer

Recurrent BV...: ...is the best bet. Tea tree oil and garlic will not help, and I doubt hydrogen peroxide will either. Probably you will need another 7 day course of oral metronidazole. After that, vaginal metronidazole (MetroGel®) or boric acid vaginal capsules often are effective in preventing recurrence. If your doc is unfamiliar with these, find a gyn with interest in infectious diseaseas. Good luck!

Question 7

is it safe to mix baby oil with tea tree oil to use on your skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Dilute tea tree oil m only a few drops - strong odor. It has antiinfectives properties.

Question 8

tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, is it a good idea to use them to get rid of butt pimples?

Accepted Answer

Encourage: Medical evaluation to determine why you are getting these and to insure you don't have boils.  Don't put cart before the horse. Take care.

Question 9

i have a blistery dry flaky rash starting from the bottom of my nose making its way to my upper lip and right side of my nose. hydrogen peroxide and tea tree oil arent working?

Accepted Answer

Stop irritating your: Both your "treatments" are aggravating whatever you have. First stop them and throw them in the trash.Then try a moisturizer cream or vaseline.

Question 10
