She did not receive any medical treatment. It was like an allergic reaction. Could not use it on her eyelids or anywhere near her face. If she does use it on her face it was on her cheeks. She was very sensitive to it. She said it lights it up like a Christmas tree. She could use it on her neck, arms legs and ankles and they were all fine. She didn't put it on her face. It was too strong for her face. She used it for these Eczema patches. She confirmed that no medical treatment was required for the allergic reaction. The skin on her body was sensitive, especially on her face. The doctor had to prescribe lotion for her face. It was Epi Ceram for face.
