how to use tea tree oil for acne
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
- Combine 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil with 12 drops of a carrier oil. However, be careful using any additional oils on your face. Any type of oil product has the potential to worsen acne.
- Before applying diluted tea tree oil to your face, do a small patch test on the inside of your elbow. Signs of skin sensitivity or an allergic reaction include itchiness, redness, swelling, and burning.
- Before applying the oil, wash your face with a gentle cleanser for acne-prone skin, and pat it dry.
- Gently apply diluted tea tree oil by dabbing it on your blemishes with a cotton round or pad.
- Allow to dry. Follow up with your usual moisturizer.
- Repeat morning and night.

I've got this boil on my back and I tried using a belladonna plaster to draw out the pus, but after two days, there was no pus. Instead, the boil turned a little yellow and got a bit bigger. When I squeezed it, only a tiny bit of blood came out and now there's a small hole in it. Some people here suggested using a paan leaf with deshi ghee. Should I be worried about this? Is it just a regular boil or something else? I'm pretty anxious about it. Could really use some advice.
-It sounds like you're dealing with an infected boil that's not draining properly. Applying the paan leaf and deshi ghee might not be the best option as it can lead to further irritation. I recommend seeing a doctor for proper drainage and treatment, espe

I've been really struggling with some skin issues lately. My skin's been getting super oily, and I also have a sun tan that's not going away. On top of that, I'm losing hair, which is really concerning me. I've been taking Eslo 5 regularly. Could this possibly be affecting my hair and skin? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and how I can fix it. Any advice would be appreciated!
Skin getting oily, sun tan, and hair fall can be due to various reasons. To address the oily skin, you can use a topical medication containing Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel once daily at night. For sun tan, you can use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply it 20 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2-3 hours. To manage hair fall, you can take Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily. Since you are already taking Eslo 5, which contains Amlodipine for blood pressure management, it is important to continue it as prescribed by your doctor.
