How to Use Turmeric Externally for Folliculitis
Turmeric can be applied directly to the affected skin. It can be mixed with something else to help it to stick to the skin. It can be mixed with coconut oil, or it can be made into a paste with water. Turmeric can be mixed with healing clay, like French green clay, and then mixed with water. The clay will have healing, drying, and drawing properties as well.
Turmeric can stain skin and clothing a bright yellow color. The skin will usually return to normal color in less than a day. However, it is difficult to get turmeric stains out of clothing. For this reason, cover the turmeric paste you use topically with some sort of bandage. After 12 hours, rinse off the turmeric paste and reapply. You may wish to give a few hours of air to the skin between applications.
