The tube is tiny and definitely not cheap, though since it's super greasy, there's no need for thick layers... just put it on the scar itself, and don't use it if there are any scabs or anything like that...
Oh, I just remembered something else... try St. John's Wort oil or calendula oil too. Same deal, though—since we're talking about herbal remedies, you've got to stay persistent. If it worked for my chickenpox scars... take my word for it. 😁

St. John's Wort is everything!!! I burned my arm pretty badly two years ago on a wood-burning stove—like, bad, from my shoulder almost down to my elbow. The skin just peeled off, it was gross, and obviously left a massive scar while the new skin was forming. I used the St. John's Wort religiously for maybe two weeks, and I could see an improvement after just one day. After a month, I stopped, the skin tanned a bit in the sun, and now you can't even tell!
Thank God for St. John's Wort! 👍 👍

Dust mites are microscopic, and they mostly just feed on dead skin cells. You’ve basically lived with them since the day you were born and you'll die with them. Right now, you probably have millions or even billions of them on you..
Usually, they aren't a problem unless you suffer from allergies. For allergy sufferers, the issue is typically when they attach themselves to dust particles—that combination of pollen or dust plus the mite is what causes the irritation..
If you're actually feeling a physical bite, it might be ear mites, or if you have pets, it could be fleas. It’s hard to tell the difference if you aren't experienced..
Then again, you could also deal with bed bugs, stink bugs, ants, or other similar pests invading your living space..
So, it's time to take action..

I suspect it might be fleas, because their life cycle really picks up during these warmer days, and they breed at an incredible rate. You almost don't see them in the winter since larval development depends so much on the outside temperature..
It doesn't even matter if there's a pet inside with you—what matters is whether they've been there or if there's a way for them to get into at least one part of your home. For instance, if your room is above a garage where cats hang out, a flea could easily jump through a window (they can leap about 4 to 5 feet in the air)
Time to call in the exterminators and get this handled..

If you happen to speak English...🙂

I just felt obligated to set the record straight here—no hard feelings, obviously.
People with allergies don't actually react to the mites themselves—even though that's what everyone claims—nor is it just the dust. If it were just mites and dust alone, there wouldn't be an issue.
The problem starts when a stupid mite leaves its... well, let's call it waste... behind. That's what triggers the allergy, regardless of the dust (though it's usually found with dust because, well, where else would it be?).
So, people who are "allergic to dust mites" (like me 👎) are actually allergic to their droppings.
