Re: Painful Area

[Guest guest]

You should have diluted it to 30% initially and perhaps not

increased it over

that for sensitive areas. Itching is due to histamine

release and possibly

dry skin. Some sensitive skin areas can blister with full

strength.

Always dilute with distilled water. Only add the DMSO to the

water due to the

release of heat, do not add the water to the DMSO.

To make 30% add 3 parts DMSO to 7 parts distilled water.

Try aloe vera gel or emu oil for the irritated skin. The

histamine release is

less with subsequent applications until the Mast Cells are

depleted then there

will be no itching with continued use.

Please dig up my full commentary from a week or 2 ago -- you might get to it by

simply searching " red sandpaper " in the archive!

feed store and bought a bottle of 99%.  I applied it to my neck once a day for

three days. Red bumps appeared on the area with some pain and itching.  Did I

misuse it?  Something I can do to prevent red bumps?  I assume I should mix it

but am concerned about the water.  Can I use distilled water?  Your

experiences and knowledge has been very helpful to me - thanks!
