My baby has Insect Bites in his eyes. may i spread papaw in his eyes?thanks..
3 answers
Are you suggesting real fruit Papaw? real fruit won't hurt his tender skin. If you intend to do the natural way, cucumber or raw tomato will take the heat & itch away. If the bites are itchy, and in an accessible place (I wouldn't do it on his eyes) I have heard that AGAROL works! I have used this on an itchy bite, it eased the pain & redness, works very well. Wish you well, ruby
No, it's just a petroleum based topical barrier product, you don't want this in anyone's eyes.
No / don't be silly @ go see your local doctor and he or she will probably refer you to an eye specialist / never ever put anything in the eyes without a doctors approval unless it's simple eye drops

Can we use paw paw ointment onto baby face, as red rashes looks like eczma?
5 answers
use moogoo for eczma like rashes, I work at a chemist by the say :P Its highly recommended
You can definitly use it on the face (adults and babies) But it won't heal the eczema, as it is a petroleum based topical barrier product. This is great for applying over eczema creams to lock in the treatments.
Howdy - my advice is to buy Macarthur paw paw products or you can try invite vitamin cream for the face @ it's expensive at almost 20 dollars though it's worth it though the trick is to keep using it that's the only problem with vitamin e cream is that someone has to keep using the invite vitamin e cream it isn't a permanent fix for the dermatitis problem

Does this cream help rosacea thank you.
2 answers
I have used it experimentally on my rosacea instead of the prescription cream which really dries the skin out. It seemed to help, but that was not a scientific trial, so I can't say it did definitely help. It's worth trying though- it didn't make it worse.
is it postion if you don't wash it off before eating.

Dose Lucas pawpaw ointment treat bruising???
3 answers
Don't think so... A bruise is dead blood cells...
No, it's just a petroleum based topical barrier product
It's better to see a doctor as bruising is caused by the blood capillaries / the best thing to do is quickly put ice on it and go to the medical centre as soon as you can or go to the nearest hospital

How can I use this?
3 answers
Lots of things, chafe rash, cute and sores, dry and cracked skin (nipples, heels, hands) insect bites, nappy rash, scrapes, stretch marks (helps with the itching)... and more! You can use it on babies through to the elderly.
You could try using your fingers to apply the Lucas paw paw cream or use cotton balls or a disposable plastic spoons
Though if you are using your fingers or hand always make sure they are clean and dry

Could it be used for acne on face?
2 answers
Yes, it is great, but always wash off in the morning as it doesn't have any sun screen in it.
It will leave your skins feeling really sticky though :/

Can you use paw paw on ulcers or cuts in your mouth?
3 answers
I did when I was younger, but I'm not sure of the effect it had on them. Feel free to try it though.
Lucas wont harm you if you use it in your mouth as it is not poisonous but because your mouth is full of saliva the papaw wont stick in your mouth.
No don't be silly / never put skin cream in your mouth / the best 3 options for you are / 1 go to your doctor and get the doctor to prescribe a liquid @ option 2) use makuna honey from new Zealand though make sure it's 10 plus rated / option 3) which I found the best @ eat plenty of yoghurt containing beneficial bacteria such as cater bificidus lactai

Can it be used for bee sting on the face?
3 answers
I'm not sure on the effectiveness as I've not used it myself for a bee sting, however feel free to try it. I don't see it doing any harm.
I have used it on mozzie bites and ant bites. i would give it a try on the bee sting, it my e effective
Make sure you remove the bee sting needle then after that there would be probably no real harm in trying to use it to treat a bee sting reaction

Is Lucas paw paw ointment good for venous leg ulcers that don't want to heal?
2 answers
I can't give you a definite "yes" on that, because I don't have any experience with leg ulcers. But I can tell you that it wouldn't make it any worse. Like I said in my review, I haven't found anything yet that it doesn't work on, so I would give it a try. (Plus, it's pretty inexpensive.)
You could try manuka honey from new Zealand to see if helps those legs ulcers though make sure it's rated 10 plus though I can't remember where to buy it from though you can try Woolworths or you could try Macarthur paw paw complete care product cream to see if it works
Is it ok to eat paw paw ointment as I've heard it's good for ulcers?
5 answers
Definitely not ! It is not a natural product. It is made mostly from petroleum jelly which is a petro-chemical (made from a petrol by product )
I wouldn't eat it but obviously it's used for chapped lips so it doesn't matter if you accidentally swallow some. For ulcers try Vegemite and a warm salt water rinse.
I wouldn't think it's ok to eat the ointment as it is for topical use only. If you have mouth ulcers your best to try the 3m mouth ulcer ointment and make changes to your diet as you may be run down. If a mouth ulcer is still there after a week or two see your local doctor as it could be something more serious Aldo regards to eating pawpaw your best eating the fruit
