Worked Temporarily
I forgot to mention I did try castor oil for a number of days also... I actually have some on my T-zone right now along with a little coconut oil. Although the area is more calm than it had been THIS GIRL AIN'T HAPPY. lol.
I will look into the Borage oil-- I had not considered that... I was thinking of trying another oil.... can't think right now... seathorn or something like that.... also I was thinking of the maluka honey too... then of course there is always colloidal COPPER--
Yesterday I did try urine wiped on my nose (my own... not some strangers...lol) as even though slightly gross it makes sense in a way... it didn't make it worse or better but it did feel... different...
I want to be one of those people who slather something one and the next day it is gone!!!
I wonder why your rash travels? I used to get psoriasis -- a kind of rash on the inner bend of my arm when I was a kid... kinda like hives... I remember the smell of the creme my mom would put on it.. but not the name. but it was some old timey type of stuff so I doubt it is around anymore.
Thank you for responding to my post-- I did spend more time looking for it today and pages 1-6... and I know I have checked thru page 10... so who knows... Feel free to write me at dancingpretzels at the Y-- I like your name Mom of many...
oh yes... also tried milk of magnesia dabbed on too-- just add that to your list to share... it was listed on peoples pharmacy radio show in NC.

I tried Oregano oil and it was helpful for a few days but then my face got horrifically dry-- like leather! I used it sparingly and diluted topically. I also took oregano pills.
Diluted apple cider vinegar is helpful but not great.
Zinc oxide cream was good for a few days-- even my bf said my face was less red but then my face started to dry from that too.
I used collodial silver as a toner. Not much of anything there but my face did not react from that.
I also tried tea tree oil dotted on the breakouts (diluted). Too harsh for my skin.
I change my pillow case every few days.
Now I am using borax and HP to wash with-- dab it on and let it dry-- and that calms it. I then apply a Eucerine zinc oxide/titanium dioxide senstive skin cream to nose, upper lip and an oatmeal lotion to the rest of my face. I have less break outs but I am still not happy with the results.
Right now I am sitting here with yogurt on my nose/lip. lol. It feels nice!
I am thinking I need to keep rotating different remedies for my particular problem... I do not have rosacea bad but the redness and few zits are noticable. I am 58.
