This results in increased sebum production and subsequent infection of the epidermal cells. It looks very ugly, as the skin, coloured white or pale yellow, starts peeling off, particularly from the scalp, eyebrows, inner ear, and anywhere else with hair follicles. Cedarwood oil can be beneficial in curing this inflammatory situation and can reduce this skin peeling, regularize sebum production, and treat the infection. The oil also reduces the ugly redness and obvious signs of the condition while eliminating it. Cedarwood oil prevents wounds from becoming septic as well as protecting them from tetanus germs.
