I'd make a cool compress with the following essential oils in small

bowel of water

3 drops organic Chamomile, german (Matricaria chamomilla)

3 drops organic or wild grown Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia)

This will soothe and reduce most skin irritation's and rashes quite

effectively- lovely oils I would never be without.

What sort of bump is it on your chin, btw? Perhaps there is another

approach that will work better without causing irritation to your skin.

Thanks, ! I have

lavender ES so will try this. I guess it’s a pimple that never came

to a head? It’s white, very tiny and wasn’t red at all until I

used the BWH. It’s been there for years. A tiny hair grows in the

middle that I pluck out. It’s hardly visible but I just wanted to

see if the BWH would pull it out and experience the process before I recommended

it to others with bigger bumps J

Hmm...I think know ing first what the bump is is most important. After

the irritation is eliminated- if you can make a compress with Cham.

german and Lavender that will really help- you could then try an

essential oils blend of Lemon, Cypress and Tea Tree essential oils- use

only organic. You can apply a drop with a qtip directly to the spot or

make it a compress the same way as I mentioned. I'd probably do this

first and continue for several weeks. They are all good first aid oils

to have on hand anyway and all inexpensive- just make sure they are

fresh and organic.

I'd stop the plucking for a while too while treating as you would not

want further irritation.

I might even alternate between the two eo blends for a while. Cham.

german/ Lavender and the Lemon/ Cypress/ Tea Tree.

A Black Bloodroot Salve may be helpful depending on the nature of this

thing. Strong stuff though. It sounds so tiny by your description it

may be difficult to treat the bump (a mole or wart of some sort with a

hair follicle growing through it?) only without getting the skin around

it upset.

Here is a link to a Black Salve if you should want to go that route.

It's a nice one but it may cause some irritation also.

..<<<It may have been some sort of congestion

but it disappeared using Helichrysum>>>

That’s what this is. My skin otherwise

is fine and have used the same products for months. I do consume all the

things you mentioned except the MSM and always drink plenty of water. The one

hair that grows in it is very fine and I’ve been pulling it out with no problem

for years. I just wanted to see how BWH worked. I really wish I’d left it

alone.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

I have jojoba oil and 9% tea tree oil.

Would that help until I get the items you suggested?

I’ll be stopping by your shop today and

we can talk some more!!!

I'm thinking a cyst too . They can be quite large underthe surface of the skin.

Well, let me tell ya, I wish I’d left it alone. Although I’m glad to find out that BWH can be very irritating to the skin. From the following, it looks like it’s a papule or a cyst. Before the BWH it was very small and almost skin tone, hardly noticeable. But, it looks like there’s a lot of stuff under the skin and the BWH is pulling it up and now it’s a half inch in diameter, red, swollen, and bumpy, yech!! I’ll try what you’ve suggested short of the black salve, for now. Thanks so much for the info.

If the inflammation is right near the surface, you get a pustule; if it's deeper, a papule (pimple); deeper still and it's a cyst. If the oil breaks though to the surface, the result is a " whitehead." If the oil becomes oxidized (that is, acted on by oxygen in the air), the oil changes from white to black, and the result is a "blackhead."

Yep, I’m sure now that’s what

it is. Amazing what can be hiding in these dang bodies of ours J I’m just glad it’s on the chin and not the nose

LOL!! I’ve already learned that BWH is not the best choice for this

type of thing. This should be an interesting learning experience. I’ll

be the resident ‘white bump’ expert!!!!
