Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 hello! i have this really disgusting skin rash/infection/i'm not sure what under my nose that came about when I was blowing my nose excessively while sick. I had a fever/cold which turned into a sinus/head cold. My nose was dripping constantly, so to not gross my co-workers out, i just kept a tissue near my nose almost all day. this was a big mistake. i irritated the skin under my nose to my upper lip. and now these gross bumps, inflamed pores, red, rash, i don't know what have taken over. i seriously look like one of those pictures in a medical book on skin diseases. i can't go to work looking like this. i get cold sores every once in awhile and i'll go to work with those, but the skin infection i have now is much worse looking. grotesque. i'm wondering if it's the herpes virus which infected the irritated skin; the area from where the infection started is where i have gotten cold sores before. the infection kind of looks like a cold sore but it's too bumpy. it looks like cheese that has been burnt on a pizza. it's bubbly looking. i searched the inet for pictures of what it is but found nothing. can anyone recommend a natural remedy for this? the area feels tight and kinda burns, but not tingly like a cold sore. i don't know what to do. i have missed too many days of work as it is. i used burt's bees res q ointment for several days but that seemed to do nothing. then i switched to neosporin and this seems to make it even more gross looking, mainly because it's greasy. any help is greatly appreciated! much thanks, cessy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had exactly that the last time I had a cold, more than a year ago. Basically the whole area underneath my nose was one ugly mass of cold- sore-like tissue. It took weeks to go away, but go away it did. Didn't do anything except put Magda's healing salve on it. Greasy but it sure felt good.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I would try fresh aloe vera gel from a live plant. IT DOES MIRACLES FOR ANY TYPE OF SKIN PROBLEM.It will heal burns overnight even Just get a really plump leaf and peel off the outer green part. Pop into a blender and thicken with a little instant oatmeal or cornstarch. Refrigerate when not using. Call the plant nurseries to locate the plant. Easy to grow in a sunny window, needs very little water, maybe once a week. Peace and healing, thyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
