It looks like you have a rash.. You know what's good for rashes!? Coconut oil... Worth a try
Bloopsies
Also, the first two pictures were taken the afternoon after I put the oil on my face and woke up with nasty blister-like things.

This folks is why you test small amounts of products and don't go about slathering your face with it on the first try.
Bloopsies
The last picture is today, 3 days of healing. Went to the hospital after taking the first two pictures.

Directions unclear. Face deep fried.
Steelwind
You aren't supposed to rub the whole coconut against your face.
MediaMuerte
You look like you had VIP tickets to the Chris Brown concert

fadingtheory
Yah, welcome to allergy time. You must have it bad - Those look like freak'n burns.
realtorboi
Just put toothpaste over it...trust
shwiggityshwoot
It's... not supposed to do that. See your doctor!
NonConformistFlamingo
See, this is why they encourage you to do an allergy test on a SMALL patch of skin before slathering something all over yourself.

You might be allergic.

When making hot pockets, no matter how eager you are stay one foot away from the microwave door AT ALL TIMES.
MrFluffles
You're not supposed to light it.
WhoCaresAboutThePoints
I mean, I know you can cook with it, but you're not supposed to heat it up before you put it on your face.
Bloopsies
Haha, very funny.
RavageTheQ
Seek medical help asap.
Bloopsies
Don't worry, already did. The last picture is a few days after healing.
RavageTheQ
Oh good

You have to love individuals that go to Imgur for advice. +1
Bloopsies
Actually, this was after going to the hospital and getting treated. I posted this to link it to something I posted on a skincare form.
Bloopsies
Trying to prevent this from happening to others. Outlined my experience, and gave advice to spot test a new product.
Uplinkdsanrok
its cool, my significant other has done the same thing. She's learned to look for specific ingredients to avoid to interactions like that.
scottbird
Maybe she's born with it.
kakum31
Maybe it's flesh eating.
winterrainrose
omfg I snorted so loud.
lilleigh3
Totally sang that to the tune.
kakum31
Good
Boogawoog
well, at least you're still pretty
Bloopsies
Awe, thank you (: feel like I look like I have leprosy
Boogawoog
not at all, you look fine, I would go get it checked out still
Boogawoog
By the way, nice eyes
Bloopsies
Thanks! They look a bit better made up. These were obviously all without makeup.
Boogawoog
Even so,your still looking good
notacobra
MBBS here, calling bullshit. That's not an allergic reaction, that is a healing scab. Looks like you either had severe acne or a scrape.
Bloopsies
The first few pictures were also the afternoon after the night I put it on. My skin wasn't like that before. Just a little dry w/ acne scars
Bloopsies
I'm also in school for a pre-med degree (:
notacobra
Then I'd suggest you keep studying because your understanding of even simple conditions is severely lacking.
Bloopsies
YOU should know medicine is not concrete, and people react differently to different things.
notacobra
Medicine is concrete, but doctors can be wrong. I'm guessing whoever diagnosed you (Which may have been yourself) is mistaken.
Bloopsies
It's funny that you comment on someone's post in which you have only seen pictures of a condition arguing that they are wrong.
notacobra
The pictures you have linked are irrelevant to the diagnosis you have described.
Bloopsies
Alright. Then, I don't know what the fuck happened? Is that better for you. These abrasions happened only where I put the oil.
Bloopsies
Don't have to take my word for it, but that's what happened. Went to the hospital, said it looked like it turned into a form of cellulitis.
notacobra
Cellulitis isn't caused by allergies, it can, however, result from severe acne or a scrape. I didn't say I'm an MBBS because it sounds cool
Bloopsies
Cellulitis is just inflammation of the cells. Did not have severe acne at the time, just had some dry spots and a bit of acne scarring.
notacobra
Cellulitis is not inflammation of cells, it's an opportunistic infection of a wound or cut. It can cause inflammation but as a symptom.
Bloopsies
Cellulitis literally means inflammation of the cells, dude. You can argue about that all you want.
Bloopsies
The coconut oil caused a chemical burn like allergic reaction which of course caused the skin cells to become inflamed.
notacobra
Allergies do not result in chemical burns, inflammation does not result in cellulitis, rather the other way around.
Bloopsies
Allergic contact dermatitis? Oh, there's that itis again.
Bloopsies
But hey, you must be right! You're an MBBS! Lol, Humble yourself.
Bloopsies
You must understand and interpret language as well as you understand the medical field. Basing your complete opinion off of a picture.
