    • Is it possible that taking an antihistamine could help to reduce the redness? I’d be concerned that applying something topically may aggravate it when you go out in the sun.

    • I get that too and use a herbal combination of antibiotic and anti-viral on it. Mine gets a little crusty feeling too. It comes & goes.

    • You can get Goldenseal in a tincture at the health food store. I also use a herbal salve that has St. Johnswort oil, plaintain, mullien and calendula in it, but if you can come by some of the St. Johnswort oil that will help. Also, you can make an oil by steeping the dried herbs in olive oil. Buy the herbs in the bulk herb section of a health food store.  

      Just to share, I thought I was allergic to milk myself, but I can drink the organic milk after all.

    • Do any of those stain the skin making  the problem worse?

      I  am  allergic  to  the  protein in milk so cant imagine organic would be different  but  thank  you

    • No, no staining on the skin. After a few minutes you won’t see even the oil on the skin surface.
