If you’ve read my 30 day challenge for repairing my skin you might remember me talking about a cyst that I struggled with for the last year or so. Why castor oil did help heal some of the damage and deflate some of the ugliness it also did not go away. So to the dermatologist I went beyond frustrated with this stubborn spot.

This may not be a surprise to you and if I’m honest with myself it was not as shocking as it should have been. That cyst turned out to be a basal cell carcinoma or bcc. Okay that was scary. I immediately reached out to my family because I had not ever heard of this happening with anyone. Well sure enough both sides of my family had only one ever. My father as well as my aunt on my mom’s side. Okay my dad was very much alive and my aunt why she had passed that was not the reason. I felt much calmer.

The doctor called me and said it would well be over a month before he could get me in for Moh’s surgery. I scheduled the appointment and then thought is there anything I can do to help myself in the interim? I have to say the information was scarce with the exception of not messing with it.

However I stumbled upon eggplant oil and was stunned to learn how good it was for your skin and treating sun spots and possible precancerous cells and you can bet I would do whatever was possible to help not get one of these again.

So this is my impromptu 30 day eggplant salve challenge to see how it helps my skin before surgery.

Why Eggplant Salve?

Eggplant salve is known to be helpful to the skin. Here are the key points I found.

• Eggplant contains antioxidants that help protect skin cells from damage.
• Eggplant salve may help with skin inflammation 
• Eggplant salve can help protect your skin cells from damage. 
• Eggplant peel salve creams may have keratolytic properties. Keratolytic agents work to soften the keratin layer of the skin. Decrease redness and swelling, increases moisture, dissolves substances that causes skin cells that stick together. Unclogs pores, shrinks pimples and infections. Loosen dry or scaly skin or thick skin.
• Eggplant salves may have antineoplastic properties. These properties can typically be found in cancer medications. Their job is to interfere with growth and spread of cancer cells.
• Eggplant face masks may remove dead skin cells and absorb excess oil 

I’m not sure that it will do much for my developed basal cell carcinoma but if it helps with future issues. So I have been applying it for a week so far and I can say it has helped my open wound where they did my biopsy and it looks much better and it feels fantastic on my skin. Sometimes I do feel some itching. I apply this twice a day to my wound and then cover it with a bandage. Then I put it on my Sun spots and any bumps on my body. The were some raised spots and some of those are gone and some are shrinking. So far I’m pretty impressed.
