I'm writing this update as an answer so hopefully a few people will receive a notification and read it.
Months ago I noticed another small skin growth forming on the side my right eyelid. I ignored it like I'm prone to doing. After a few months I started to see it in my field of vision so I decide,"Oh very well then ! I'll do something".
So I started applying Aloe Vera gel to it once a day and sometimes I forgot.
Today, which is about 2 months later, I woke up and it is gone. The whole thing came off during the night. There is not even a mark on the skin.
So this is now at least the 4th time that this plant fixed my skin and saved me a whole lot of money. Isn't that grand ?

This is exciting. Until very recently I always had an aloe vera on a kitchen windowsill for burns and sunburn. Sharing it with my daughter who is prone to throat ailments.
I will not be surprised when we learn - or remember - a great many homeopathic remedies used for milennia by 'primitive' cultures who lived with the Earth instead of subjugating her.
It's kind of funny how we are about such things. A decade or so ago I was cursed with toenail fungus. I talked to a doctor who gave me a prescription for a cure. My insurance company considered this 'cosmetic' and 'optional' and refused payment. I never filled the prescription because it was nearly $470 per month and it was estimated that six months to a year treatment would be required.
I happened on a suggestion on line to try Vicks-Vape-O-Rub. Well, THAT cost $5 for a BIG jar. As directed I smeared it on my toenails and wore socks to bed. Okay, the strong scent of Eucalyptus and athletic socks may not be alluring in a bed partner, but about four months later my nails were smooth and clear.
I do still wonder who got the idea of Vicks salve on toenails. Since I now live alone, I use it on the odd sore muscle. Can't say whether it's some helpful ingredient or memories of Mom rubbing Vicks on my throat or chest when I was sick as a child or both ... but it works.

"Zulu friend" :) we have Zulu friends too, there is such a wealth of great medicinal knowledge in that culture. Shrouded by a mist of false truths but you can find more at UKZN. Few books have been written by even fewer illustrated - they fear exploitation and believe those plants are not for use by anyone, but by people who have been taught properly the ways of old. Quite a cool thing. Thanks for sharing.

I use Aloe since yooung through today.
It´s a so good resource to have.
I have Aloe plants in my garden, along with other medicinal herbs.
At my country and extended by the continent whe have a "cousin" of Aloe, called Pita.
It shares most if not all the benefits of Aloe.

I have Aloe Vera plants too. 🌱 I had some skin tags removed from my face and used some, it healed so much faster than if I hadn't used it. They are wonderful to have around. I've used it for burns too, it works great. Thanks for reminding me to use it again. By the way, I hear not all of Ale Vera plants can be used medically. You want to make sure you get the right ones. ⭐ Great post! 💓

@revenant As far as I know I have never met a bushman in person. I like to read so I read about them.
The 1st time they were brought to my notice was when I was about 10 or 11. My family used to go on holiday were we camped in a mud hut in the Drakensberg mountains. We walked the mountains a lot and explored caves etc. There I saw Bushmen rock paintings for the first time. That area is actually a world heritage site because of the history involved in those paintings.
I still go there occasionally to walk through the mountains and drink water from the streams which are pure and crystal clear. I have feelings for that place that I can't explain. Mother nature speaks in the wind there.
Anyway...according to Bushman tradition their God becomes a snake whenever it pleases. It's just another form of the same being.
I imagine that the Christian missionaries of old had a bit of a problem with that belief. 🙂

@bijouxbroussard Aha ! Another honest testimony. A few more and we can start an Aloe Vera following. ☺
Thanks for reading and answering Bijoux. I think a bit later I might post a question to bring more people's attention to this because it's useful information.
