Will Coconut Oil Help Treat Infection On Face?
I have an infection on my face. There are multiple places that are located from the nose to under my chin. A spot will appear and then another. They are not connected, but very close together. I have been using coconut oil and oil of oregano to treat. I am still getting new spots and cannot get rid of it.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
I am sorry to hear about your infection.
No, coconut oil will in no way treat your infection.
Firstly you need to diagnose what it is and which type of infection. Visit a dermatologist and let him diagnose the type of infection. Then by using suitable medicines or creams as prescribed by him, your infection can be treated.
Hope this information helps.
Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
Wishing you good health.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar
