All around, it was a strange occurrence and that's why I posted this. The doctor had no idea what the real cause was either.
Said it looked something like cellulitis, and I assumed it was a reaction that was in direct response to the new product I had used.
Trying to prevent this from happening to others. Outlined my experience, and gave advice to spot test a new product.
Maybe my skin already had the bacteria that causes cellulitis, and the coconut oil gave it the right environment to reproduce. I don't know.
It was antibiotics and an antibiotic ointment with zinc. I don't know if dry skin would count as scratches and abrasions.
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.
Haven't had anything that looks like this anywhere else. Since using the prescribed medication and ointment it has improved drastically.
If I'm wrong, so be it, but that's the only thing that makes logical sense in this situation. My skin is healing, and looks great.
Okie doke. I think that it was caused by the coconut oil, which happened to be from a very cheap brand.
They gave me medication and an ointment, and now it looks great in comparison.
I never had this problem before, and it happened directly after applying a product I had never used. I think your logic is skewed.
I went to the hospital. Lol.
Alright. Then, I don't know what the fuck happened? Is that better for you. These abrasions happened only where I put the oil.
You must be a pleasant person to have a conversation with on a day to day basis.
Okay, buddy. Well, I put coconut oil on a few dry spots and it caused that reaction. Whatever you think it mayyyy be.
But hey, you must be right! You're an MBBS! Lol, Humble yourself.
You must understand and interpret language as well as you understand the medical field. Basing your complete opinion off of a picture.
Notice I said Chemical burn like. As in, imitating a chemical burn.
Cellulitis literally means inflammation of the cells, dude. You can argue about that all you want.
Allergic contact dermatitis? Oh, there's that itis again.
YOU should know medicine is not concrete, and people react differently to different things.
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.
I'm also in school for a pre-med degree (:
The coconut oil caused a chemical burn like allergic reaction which of course caused the skin cells to become inflamed.
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.
Thanks! They look a bit better made up. These were obviously all without makeup.
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.
Maybe the brand? It was cheap. Maybe I'm just allergic.. Not sure.
Yeah, I heard great things! This occasion was the first I'd ever tried it.
Haha, very funny.
