Here's a video that has a few ideas which may or may not be applicable to your friend's issue:

Approved submission

Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Straw - Quinn List - Help with Acne BB.

T22 (pseudonym) has been experiencing acne on and off for the past decade and dermatological visits have not resolved the issue. More recently the skin has started flaking and itching.

- My suggestions for relief
- Behavioral: wash face with mild soap daily and avoid touching/scratching face to allow it to heal
- Food as medicine: avoid processed foods and chemicals and any foods that make the situation worse if they can be identified
- Concoctions: Mint/tea tree salve that I made, rosemary salve that I made, Christopher's Original Formulas, Complete Tissue & Bone Ointment

- Description of success
1) applied mint/tea tree salve for two weeks and the issue got better but then returned
2) applied rosemary salve for two weeks and the issue got better but then returned
3) applied Christopher's Original salve for two weeks and the issue significantly improved

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following photos to supplement the above information:
- Picture of you with friend on the first meeting
- Picture of you with friend (giving a thumbs up) on your last meeting
