Were you taking companion nutrients while you were taking the trans dermal iodine? Your body needs the companion nutrients while taking any form of iodine, that's when people can run into trouble. BTW my mother-in-law got thyroid nodules and never took iodine so it does not neccessarily mean the nodules were caused by the iodine. Some doctors just look for something to blame instead of looking for the real reason.
Regarding iodine burning the skin. There are people that are alergic to iodine. Did you have itching as well? It can also be that the Lugol's you used was too strong for your fragile skin and maybe a lower concentration would help your skin not to burn. Yes, as we age our skin gets thinner and more fragile than when we were younger. You can try diluting it by half or more with water but apply it to a different area until the skin is well healed. Be well.

I would paint the iodine on my skin on my arm and it would disappear in minutes so I started painting it over my throat. One of my practitioners decided I needed to have an ultrasound and the nodules showed up. I was told they were probably from painting the iodine over my throat. If you haven't had an ultrasound you might want to talk to your practitioner about getting one before you start painting the iodine on your throat... especially if you are having a reaction. Good luck.

I stopped using it for awhile but started up painting on my lower throat area. Had to stop because the skin became really tight and hurt just like a sunburn...now it is peeling exposing fresh soft skin. I am 62 would age factor in since my skin is getting thinner? Thanks in advance, Debbie
