Question 1

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.

Accepted Answer

Benzyl peroxide: Tea free oil not effective.

Question 3

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.

lastnight i mixed aspirin&tea tree oil together,to reduce my pimples.i left it in for 20 mins.then washed it off. when i woke up the spots were purple?

No surprize: So you irritated your face. It will heal in a few days. Do not expect this to help acne. It won't. If you want help for acne, see a dermatologist.

Question 5

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!
