Castor works well as a toenail fungus treatment. For the same reason it helps fight acne, castor oil can get rid of persistent fungal infections, moles and cysts. Traditionally, the method used was to apply a small amount of castor oil with a pinch of baking soda to the infected area.
When castor oil is used for acne, it draws dirt out of the skin, as well as bacteria, dead skin cells and excess oils.
