DEAR DR. GOTT:
One of your readers wrote regarding pure oil or oregano for rosacea. I tried 3-4 drops on my nose and cheeks twice. Well, it felt as if someone lit a torch on my face both times. The feeling was far beyond the little stings as stated by your reader.
DEAR READER:
I’m sorry your experience was not successful. As I have indicated before, if a reader passes on a tip that might help others and appears harmless, I will mention it in my column. Obviously this one did not work for you.
Should other readers find the product too strong as well, I recommend blending it equally with a carrier such as castor or olive oil before applying.
I value readers’ opinions, both negative and positive, and am grateful you took the time to write.
