Coconut Oil for Rosacea, Nail Fungus, Shingles and Cooking! A Personal Experience

I have rosacea and have had skin cancer and surgery on my face. I didn’t use the prescription the surgeon gave me. I used my coconut oil instead and the wound healed quickly without any infection and almost NO scar… Even the dermatologist is amazed at the results. It runs right across my face, from nose out to cheek… No one can see it unless I show them where and they get right up to it.

Coconut oil definitely also helps keep the redness and burn reduced when my rosacea flares. I use it daily on my entire face as a moisturizer after shaving.

People have mentioned about melting coconut oil. Well, it sits on my bathroom counter and in the winter gets very solid. I scrape a small amount out with a wooden pop stick I can just throw away to keep it uncontaminated. As soon as it hits the palm of your hand it starts to melt down on its own so I don’t see any need to physically melt it somehow.

I’m in my 50’s and recently had shingles, too. For that and the occasional toe fungus or athlete’s foot, I use a combination of half coconut oil and half tea tree oil. You can’t ingest it but this oil mixture is also used for many skin issues and studies show it is much stronger than current treatments for killing the virus that causes herpes and shingles.
