Question 1

my eyelashes are a bit thin now but i want to make themthick again. is it true that if you put vaseline on your eyelashes, they'll start to grow thicker? any home remedies to make them thick?

Accepted Answer

Thick dark lashes: Prostaglandin drugs will make the lashes thicker, darker and longer. This includes Latisse (bimatoprost) and the glaucoma medications Xalatan (latanaprost), zaditor, and lumigan.  There can be side effects including conjunctival redness, skin pigmentation, and potential permanent darkening of the iris (and others).  Side effects can be reduced if the product is applied to the lashes without skin/eye contact.

Question 2

is it okay to apply vaseline (petroleum jelly) on eyelashes ? i heard it makes them grow longer and thicker. if not, is there any other solutions ?

Accepted Answer

No problem: Vaseline will not harm the eye or eyelid but it has no effect on eyelash growth.  If you want eyelashes to be thicker and longer, use latisse (bimatoprost).   It is available from your ophthalmologist or dermatologist.

Question 3

if you  put vaseline on your eyelashes to naturally lengthen them?

Accepted Answer

No : If you apply vaseline in your eye lashes it does not help to lengthen your eye lashes. That is only a myth.

Question 4

which is best for eyelash growth: castor oil or vaseline?

Accepted Answer

Neither: are helpful.  Latisse (bimatoprost) works well.  It is available from many types of physicians by prescription.

Question 5

what are natural tips for growing longer/thicker eyelashes? i heard putting olive oil/vaseline on at night grows them is this true?

Accepted Answer

No: Sorry, wish it was that easy.   There is no natural way to make your eyelashes longer that I know of.   But if there WAS as way, companies would have marketed it already.  The only known medicine to help lengthen your eyelashes is Latisse (bimatoprost).

Question 6

my eyelids are red and burning. i have relief when i put vaseline on them. is it safe to apply vaseline on the eyelid, covering the eyelashes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: Vaseline will not hurt you, if it gets in your eyes; however, with the symptoms you're having, i would recommend seeing an ophthalmologist for evaluation and more definitive treatment.

Question 7

hi i first had sex august 2013, and the following couple of days my penis head started peeling, i was worried and went to the clinic to get tested but nothing came back. it was quite dry so i moisturised it with vaseline when i could, but it still would p

Accepted Answer

See urologist...: At 21, the described irritation and skin-peeling are most likely related with long tight foreskin. If so, circumcision will provide an adequate long-term care. Of others causes for the described may exist, such as psoriasis or lichen-related skin disorders. Nonetheless, a direct look at the concerned area is essentially needed for reaching right diagnosis.

Question 8

i have meatitis on the tip of my penis at the urethral opening and the right side of the head is quite inflamed. will it heal with vaseline only? or should i use hydrocortisone on it? and it a steroid safe at my urethral opening..?

Accepted Answer

Steroid safe: check with your dr for other cause, e.g. yeast infection vaseline no help

Question 9

used retin a (tretinoin) twice on penis head...skin burned, reddish and sore patches. applying vaseline, moisturizer for 3 days. can i apply betnovate ointment?

Accepted Answer

Stop: I have no idea why you want to put Retin A (tretinoin) on your penis head since there is no wrinkle there. If anything, try topical hydrocortisone for a few days to calm the inflammation down (I presume however that Betnovate is a brand of cortisone containing betamethasone . If so, it is ok to use it once a day for 3-4 days but no more).

Question 10

would putting vaseline on my eyebrows make them grow or make them thicker?

Accepted Answer

Neither: It has no effect.
