You are lucky, because our doctor had never heard of it in this context. I
am wondering if the initial rash was caused by the DMSO and then something
else has taken over. It comes up in different places and is intermittent.
The first, all-over rash has broken up into separate places, and is worse at
different times. As I said, he is a very sensitive individual, so maybe
something else is triggering it now. But the areas are too large to use a
single capsule on and at the moment, we are using calamine and spraying with
CS. It is not so bad now, but we are going to ask the doc if he can have an
allergy test; something they seem to be loth to do here in the UK (at least
our doctors are). Anti histamines don't seem to work either, so maybe it is
something else as I say. Of course, there is always the possibility it is a
virus as well I suppose. Thank you for your help. Regards, dee

Hi Dee,
I have had experience with DMSO for almost 50 years. My father had a neck
injury and his doctor prescribed it for his inflamation. The Doctor was
very explicit in saying be very careful to apply on a clean area. My
father had to wash with soap and rinse very well to remove any soap residue.
He was also told not to cover it bandage or with clothes or pants or shirts
because they would have soap and other polution on them. My suggestion is to
rinse the rash with distilled or pure water. The time the DMSO is active
always seems pretty short. You might puncture a vitamin A capsule and
place the oil on the rash to calm it down. I have never known of any
serious problems from DMSO. I have been irritated and uncomfortable for a
short period of time after using the straight undiluted DMSO. I hope this
helps. Marlene
PS I have heard if you use it regularly you should take Vitamin D, E, and A
orally..
