When my sisters and I were little girls we got some sort of skin thing, it looked like ring worm, but cultures did not come back with any diagnosis. We had these lesions all over us, and we tried some new and expensive prescription every week, all summer long. Then we went to California, and an Uncle took one look at us, got out this huge old Aloe Vera plant and rubbed it on every sore. It worked. We were cured that night. I don't think it helps all skin issues, but some definitely.
