Anyone know how to administer fresh aloe vera, directly from the leaf??

It's supposed to be a great healer for acne, burns, irritations, etc.

TIA

Administer??? This is not a controlled substance, but if you MUST have a written SOP:
1. Select a plump juicy leaf
2. Break off a one-to-three-inch section of leaf, depending on the area to be treated
3. Apply gentle pressure to the cut end to release the jellylike juice
4.Spread juice full-strength to area to be treated. repeat as needed.

or, in plainspeak, break off a nice zaftig piece of leaf, squeeze out the goo and schmear on as much as you like, as often as you like. Chill first in fridge for extra cooling power.

yes, you crack or cut open the end of the leaf and take some goop out, mush it so its not a bunch of big clumps, rather turns into a liquid soap consistancy and smooth it over the area.
