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.

View allHey, I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism recently, and my TSH levels are pretty high, but my T3 and T4 are normal. I'm thinking about trying PRP treatment for my hair loss. Do you think my high TSH could make PRP a bad idea?

I've been dealing with this intense itching all over my body because my IGE levels are high. The last time I checked was two years ago, and it was at 300. A skin specialist suggested I take either antibiotic medicine or Ebastine 20, which seemed to help for about three days, but then the itching comes right back. Is it okay to keep taking this medicine regularly, or should I consider other options?
High IgE levels can cause itching and skin issues. Given your experience with Ebastel or Best 20 (antihistamines), it's clear that: *Alternatives and Next Steps* 1. *Consult an allergist or immunologist*: To better understand your IgE levels and develop a personalized treatment plan. 2. *Consider immunotherapy*: Allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy might help reduce your IgE levels and alleviate itching. 3. *Topical treatments*: Apply topical creams or ointments, such as pimecrolimus or tacrolimus, to reduce itching and inflammation. 4. *Oral medications*: If antihistamines aren't effective, your doctor might prescribe oral corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. *Important Notes* 1. *Don't self-medicate*: Avoid taking medications without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to adverse effects or interactions. 2. *Monitor your IgE levels*: Regularly check your IgE levels to track changes and adjust your treatment plan accordingly

I'm dealing with some hair fall issues and started using Indulekha hair oil. I've heard that adding vitamin E capsules to hair oil might help, and I'm considering trying it. Can I mix vitamin E capsules directly into the Indulekha bottle and store it like that? If it's okay to do, how many capsules would you recommend for the whole bottle?
-Yes, you can mix Vitamin E capsules into Indulekha hair oil. For a standard 100ml bottle, 2-3 capsules should be enough. Use it regularly for better hair health, but remember to monitor for any irritation.
