What would you use to apply this? I have one too that I'd like to get rid of.

Hi Leslie,

How long have you been using the DMSO on the fatty tumor?

My experience about 2 years ago with putting DMSO on lipomas looked initially promising but in the end the size didn't reduce. My skin got rather irritated, red, itchy, and scaly which are rather normal side effects of putting undiluted DMSO on skin. They are minor effects though.


Only yesterday, Rowena - also a member on this list - send me the following (thanks Rowena):

    15. Sebaceous cysts are cysts which contain oily, fatty material.
They usually appear rather suddenly on the face or in the groin or labia. Rubbing in SSKI mixed 50-50 with DMSO will almost always persuade these cysts to go away in a week or two; it appears that the iodide "dissolves" the fatty, oily material contained in the cysts, allowing your body to slowly re-absorb and dispose of it. The famous chemistry professor Louis Feiser made a point of demonstrating to all the medical students that iodine and iodide would make oils, fats, and waxes (cholesterol is actually a wax) more soluble in water. This known action of iodide might likely explain why it might be needed in patients with lipomas. http://panaminstitute.com/de-iodine.htm

I had applied iodine (Lugol's) for a period of time with no results, and the DMSO alone with no results. Now I have made a 50-50 Lugols/DMSO solution, only a tiny bit as it goes a long way, and am going to give that a go for 2 weeks, 3 weeks if I have the impression that changes are occurring. It is worth trying. The only solution for getting rid of them is removal by surgery. For some that is doable if one has only a few.

Keep us informed Leslie how you go with it.
