allergic reactions - Dee

[Guest guest]

Hi Dee!

Yes I know, at first I was thinking it had to be the cream since was around my

eyes, but then I started thinking about everything else I came into contact with

that could have & most likely aggravated it & made it worse so have no idea what

made it this bad. Yep am just gonna stay away from as much as possible til it

goes away. which stinks because I have people who want incense & smelly jellies

& soap & can't do anything. I have never had allergies to anything before so am

clueless. I didn't even think about using it around my eyes, I knew I didn't

want to use fo's on my face, I was out of my unscented lotion & figured I would

give it a try ....I had used it once or twice before on my face before my

daughter hid it. It didn't burn then. But now I am thinking about it I have had

really red cheeks on a few occasions ....but I don't think it was after using

the cream....maybe after using the lavender/tea tree lotion but I can't remember

now if I had used anything when it happened or not. I don't use eo's very much

because I don't know enough about them yet & I can't afford most of them anyway.

I have only used patchouli, the lavender 40/42, very small amounts of tea tree,

peppermint & rosemary & i have some eucalyptus, vetiver & a bug off blend I just

got but that's it & haven't used the last ones at all (eucalyptus, vetiver or

bug off)

Well, it's not getting warm here yet we are still raining constantly.....i

think it rained 23 days out of 27 for a while there, it has been in the 50's

mostly .....today we did hit the 70's which is almost 20 degrees below normal so

I'm ok for now.

My cheeks are starting to clear up some...still a little blotchy &

burning/tingly, my eyes are still red above them & still tingly & burning...some

sniffies came in the mail today & my cheeks started to tingle really bad so i

just threw them away. I really hope this all clears up & from now on I'm not

using anything around my eyes/face that has anything in it!

Thanks

Patty

 

 

>>Speaking of allergic reactions. That is a tough call because there

are so many things that could be the things setting off the reaction.

Sounds like isolating all the possible things which is what is being

done is the best way to go. Waiting until the reactions cool down. I

have allergies to some pollens and when the season is in, I pretty

much know that my reactions are pollen related.

 

I did have a skin rash once from using too much of one essential oil

too often. Once you become allergic to an essential oil you really

have to be careful with that oil for a while. Most companies that

sell essential oils will tell you that. And they will also tell you

to be very careful about using essential oil creams around your eyes.

EOs are so strong that they can cause a burning sensation on the skin

in creams near your eyes if they are too strong.

 

Anyway It sure isn't much fun to be feeling so itchy and all when the

weather is getting warm. But I do know that prednizone works well to

help and hopefully things will clear up soon.

 

So glad to be here with the Oils,Herbs,Etc group! Take Care! Dee<<

Patty...

 

I have had some breakouts on very tender skin and I have used plain refined Shea

butter on it and it took the pain out and cleared it up in a short time. I am

not reccomending anything, understand, just wanted to let you know what I do for

breakouts.
