Am I in Danger After Using Eucalyptus Oil?

Patient's Query

i have full of cough and cold so i decided to treat it with eucalyptus oil firstly i applied eucalyptus oil for my entire face and head and then i pour eucalyptus oil into both of my ears and blocked my ears with cotton then i felt paining and i google searched and then i realized that i will die but chat gpt told that this is not a severe issue but i wated to talk with doctor regarding this

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Eucalyptus oil is quite strong and applying it directly on your face, head, and especially in your ears can be really irritating. It's likely that the sensitive skin in those areas reacted to the oil, causing the pain you felt. But don't worry, it's not something that would cause serious harm. To ease the discomfort, I recommend gently washing your face and ears with mild soap and water. Avoid putting anything else in your ears and let them breathe. If the pain persists or if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to speak with a physician who can give you personalized advice based on your situation.

Hi I'm female 49 yrs, who missed w tt shot fir a second grade burn with hot water in right thigh, antibiotics taken for7 days, and application of betadine helped 80percent of wound, want to know about missed tt shot risk, whether I want to be alert to check out for tetanus symptoms,how many days it will take to show the symptoms, now I hàve passed 14 days after injury.please reply

Female | 49

Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

i have some acne on my chin

Female | 13

Pimples ofte­n appear on the chin area whe­n skin pores get blocked. Obstructe­d pores trap excess oil and de­ad cells. Red bumps, whitehe­ads, and blackheads form. Hormones, stress, and ce­rtain foods contribute. Gently wash your face twice­ daily. Don't squeeze pimple­s. Use benzoyl peroxide­ or salicylic acid products. Eat nutritious foods, and drink adequate water. The­se steps can improve acne­ on your chin.

I am 18 year old last month i got pimple on my face and i just pinch it off everytime and now i have black spot on my face and i just want to get rid of it what should i do i can share picture if you want!!

Female | 18

It seems like you’ve got post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after popping your zits. These can result in dark marks on your face. To fade them away, consider trying out products that contain vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid as ingredients. Sun protection is key since UV rays can worsen the appearance of these spots. Also, remember not to irritate your skin further to avoid more dark spots.

How to take care of oily skin and damaged hairs?? I have been taking medication for TB since June 2020. I have oily skin and additionally pimples too, on my face, hand and back. My face is looks dull and open pores are visible. Color of my body is getting darker day by day. I had grey hair issue so I have used hair color but now my hair is totally damaged. Please suggest something for my problem

Female | 32

The acne has to be treated accordingly as it is appearing in many parts of the body. The acne medications will control excess oil. Tuberculosis treatment may affect your hair as well as skin. I thus urge you to meet a dermatologist nearby and get evaluated for further treatment. Also start using anti-oxidant capsules, they will help a lot.

Male | 16

Popped pimple­s can leave scars. These­ scars can make you feel unhappy. Pimple­ scars show up when popped or picked. To he­lp with these scars, try using creams or oils with ingre­dients that fade scars. Howeve­r, remember it might take­ time for scars to disappear complete­ly.
