red aloe vera gel - #17174
I am confused about this whole red aloe vera gel situation. Last month, I started using red aloe vera gel after seeing a post online about its amazing healing properties for skin issues. I had this eczema flare-up on my hands that was driving me nuts, you know? Anyway, I thought, why not give it a shot? So, I applied the red aloe vera gel, and at first, it seemed to help a bit, but then my skin started to feel really irritated, and I noticed small patches turning red! I read somewhere that red aloe vera gel can have different effects on different skin types, but I thought aloe was generally safe for everyone, right? Is anyone else has has similar reactions with red aloe vera gel? Like, did your skin get more irritated, or was it just me? I’m worried that I might be allergic or something since I’ve been trying to be more natural with my skin care. Should I keep trying to use the red aloe vera gel or ditch it completely? I also wonder if the color makes a difference? I’ve only seen green aloe before, and there's not much info about red aloe vera gel out there... Just trying to figure out if this is worth continuing or if I need to see a doctor. Any insight would be appreciated!
