On the question of whether ointment prevents the CS "dregs" staining the
skin, I had a good opportunity to test this out.  Something heavy fell on my
little toe and drew blood right through thick socks and leather shoes.
Expected misery for days.

I zapped with my Enar device and applied arnica ointment and CS/DMSO
mixture. Soaked in bowl of hot water with Sodium Carbonate ("Lectric Soda")
and hot bath at night with same.  Decided to try to make ointment with
"dregs" but couldn't scrape them off the filter paper.  Cut the filter
paper, smeared bottom dreg-rich portion with arnica ointment, and dampened
with 60/40 DMSO/CS.  Draped around little toe and secured with cling wrap
and sticky tape.  Wonderful result in morning.  Practically pain free -
mainly reaction to pressure - but unusual reddish appearance beautifully
adapted to expressions of sympathy from family.  No special precautions
during next day.  Night time after bathing, applied another "dregs
brown-paper-plaster" smeared with arnica ointment and dampened with 60/40
DMSO/CS.  Wonderful result again.  Colour practically normal (was palm-sized
bruise top of foot near little toe) but for an odd firm rosy-pink blister on
inner surface at probable point of main impact.

As I was putting the arnica ointment on the first time I gasped in horror
just too late, remembering arnica is not recommended for broken skin.
However, I had no problem.

The skin was smeared with ointment before the dreg plaster was applied, and
did not stain.

What difference was there in what was applied in this experiment and my
first two (1. chicken bone scratch and 2. cracked skin corner of thumbnail)?
Firstly the brown staining to skin and nail occurred when a tissue used to
wipe glass and electrodes was applied to the skin, whereas the
"dreg-filterpaper plaster" contained what was strained out of the liquid.
The other difference is that the toe was covered in ointment, the fingers
were not except for the patch that did not stain in the first experiment
where calendula ointment had been applied to the injury site.

I usually try to use the wet filter paper for something, most often to apply
to an area on the neck which has a number of moley freckles and probable
papilloma type lumps (skin tags?)
