And it's not painful now, nor is it very itchy since using the Magnascent iodine earlier. I have also taped a penny over it, so I can't feel the hard knot under it right now. The spot is very, very warm though. And the skin feels 'leathery' (probably because of the overnight DMSO I used). Guess I need to break out the emu or coconut oil in addition to whatever else I end up using tonight. Thanks!

But I don't have any around anymore. damp tobacco on it draws out poison, and the nicotene helps with the pain. Not sure if this far along with it tho. I would probably peroxide it for infection and put antibiotic ointment on it. Hope this helps.

Apparently the copper in the penny is healing. Nenah
