I massage my scalp with castor oil for faster hair growth, but i'm noticing small zits on my face. is the oil causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Castor oil is not going to make your hair grow faster. It is also not likely to be causing zits. Though washing your face with soap 2-3 times a day may help control zits.
