Hi All,
I have to say that I am VERY pleased with the results of the treatment(s) I did on my son's blistered ears! I used a combination of EIS (probably 90 or 95%), with some comfrey tincture and lavender essential oil and I was able to add some melted coconut oil to this. We sprayed this on his ears as many times a day as we could - even had the school nurse doing it while he was at school! In between I merely rubbeb (softly mind you) a small amount of coconut oil on them. The blisters never broke and overnight they started to shrivel up. Over the course of 5 days.they got smaller and smaller. He received his sunburn on Sunday and treatment started that afternoon and continued until they were healed. The smaller of the two blistered sloughed off on day 3 or so and the bigger blister started to lift off on day 5. I worked it gingerly with coconut oil until I could remove the whole thing (it had shrunk to at least half its original size) and knowing that it was hanging there as it is, my son probably would have ripped it off at some point and I wanted to ensure that it was removed as carefully as possible. On day 6 (Saturday) there was no sign whatsoever of his burns (actually after I worked the bigger blister off - you could really say it was Friday) that healthy skin was there. I agree with the many people that said the EIS was evident in healing the skin underneath the blister first and everything else helped it along. I do remember using a bit of DMSO the first day or two which my son tolerated but when you get DMSO on "good" skin it has a tendency to burn and tingle which he could not handle (it dribbled a bit down his ear and I heard about it for sure). After the first day or two I just used the "spray" I had and would make sure I covered the blisters well and even used my fingers to make sure they were definitely coated with the stuff. So, lesson learned: EIS works wonders with burns!!! Thank you everyone :-) Lisa
