Your skin is detoxing itself. I went through this, too. The good news is it won’t last forever and when it’s over you will have beautiful skin. I didn’t have acne; I had millia (sp). Small very hard (almost like a cyst) white heads that worked their way to the surface of my skin and then b/c my pores are so fine they’d just hung out there for months unless I extracted them with a lancet (making big boo boos on my face). You could see the millia and feel them with your finger. The older I got (I’m 46) the bigger they got and more numerous. I had they in my eyelashes, on the side of my nose, in the delicate skin under my eyes, across my cheek bones. My Mom is the same way, I started her on VCO too, I’ll have to ask if her’s are better. I don’t have them anymore, just a few residual ones that have yet to leave. I also had regular blackheads that would make knots. I could drain by squeezing ( I was desperate), but they would fill right back up after a couple of months. I don’t get those anymore either. When I do have a regular eruption it hardly amounts to anything, just a small reddish bump and it’s gone by the next day. I rub VCO on the spot several times during the day and it takes care of it for me. My skin is so smooth and soft now and not just on my face. I had brown blotches on my face, probably from too much sun mixed with bad oils. I read they oxidize with sun exposure causing the skin mottling. The mottling is dramatically fading and I’ve heard other women say the same thing on another forum. It’s definitely the VCO, b/c I still love being outside. Hope this helps, stay with it you’ll be happy you did.

Ive had the same experience. I had lots of whiteheads on my chin and mouth area from the virgin coconut oil- but I think Becca Bee is right- it was actually a detox symptom- as I used to use lots of chemical department store creams before resorting to all natural things. I turned my back on chemical products for my skin- and i think the Coconut oil pulled all the toxins to the first top layer of skin, causing the whiteheads to come out.

Now, I rub coconut oil all over my face after washing, and no longer have this problem. I am amazed at how soft my skin is- and I lovve the smell of the coconut oil on my skin!

has the oil helped your rosacea , and are you using anything else for it ? i have it too & am just looking for some advice . thanks ........... tbo

That happened to me as well, I stopped to use the oil but then I found some information saying, like the girls here mentioned, that it was detox symptom and coconut oil is pulling all the toxins out. All the whiteheads are supposed to go away in about a week, if they won't I guess you should stop using coconut oil. BTW why do you drink coconut oil? Also for skin? http://coconutjuice.co/numerous-uses-of-coconut-oil-useful-tips/
I can't find anything about the internal use, and what does it taste like?
