Review (5/5): ABSOLUTELY WORKED FOR MY SCALP ACNE
I am a female, white-haired senior citizen who has suffered from diagnosed "scalp acne" for 6 years. In 2016, I was treated with an Rx topical cream, then an oral Rx antibiotic capsule, and then a second Rx topical cream, with no positive results from any of the treatments. Three mornings ago, in desperation, I started using a paste of 1/4 teaspoon of this product with a scant 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil applied directly to the pimples/lesions on my scalp. I left that first application on for 3 hours (1 hour is recommended but I forgot about it) and then washed it off with warm water and a little shampoo. By that first evening, my pimple/lesions seemed to be less visible. Yesterday, after the second morning of this application (leaving it on for only 1 hour) and washing off, my scalp was almost clear with no itching! This morning, for the third time, I have applied the paste for an hour before washing it off. The turmeric paste has been incredible!! However, yesterday my throat began tasting of turmeric (an almost coppery taste with a tiny bit of heat) and I have been experiencing clean-me-out-completely bowel movements. The finger tip (and nail) I've been using for application of the paste is stained orangey-yellow, the other four fingernails of the same hand are lightly stained, and my hair where the paste was is stained yellowish. I will not be using the paste any longer for these three reasons: the pimples/lesions are now completely gone, my colon must be pristine, and the continuing discomfort in my throat is not something I want to repeat or take lightly. All in all, I must rate this treatment absolutely effective but if you are considering its use, I recommend you carefully monitor how your body feels and adjust the use of this paste accordingly. I'll be interested to see if the scalp acne returns.....
