Paula,
That is quite brave and probably quite unnecessary to apply full 
strength DMSO. 

One of the books on DMSO recommends 70% or less below the 
waist and 50% or less above the waist and then dilute further if your 
skin is sensitive. 

Usually fair skin requires another 1:1 dilution ie 35% and 25% max. 

In my opinion DMSO is so effective that I usually use only 1% for all 
uses.
