Stop oil pulling for a week and see what happens. Otherwise, watch what you eat. I stopped drinking coffee and my face broke out. Sometimes switching does yield some bad results in the short term but the body adjusts. A month is quite a while to be pulling and not getting the results you want. Try switching oils. I hope the more experienced pullers will chime in.

Everybody's body is different, so I don't know with certainty what's going on ... but I am curious now.

You know, now that I think about it ... my face broke out heavily when I first started oil-pulling. Big, hard, under-the-skin cysts (those painful ones.)

But, I never linked it to OPing ... duh ... it sure could be a necessary (albeit, uncomfortable)result.

Anyway, I have oily skin and to "treat" it I used a mixture of coffee grounds & coconut oil to exfoliate ... and I splashed with apple cider vinegar diluted with water.

Oh, and I kept OPing.

Now my face is better than its been in a long time.

And, uh ... about the other thing ... I really have NO clue. How about making a mixture of corn starch and coconut oil (or any kind of good oil) to apply to the raw area around your upper thighs? It would offer healing protection, and soothe the burn, I bet.

Maybe others will have advice from which to pick & choose from.
