Hi..
I have used CS for contact dermatitis and it does wonders. Cleared it up.  I 
have used it also on an open wound.  If wound bleeding, put a bit of Cayenne 
tincture on it to stop bleeding and then use CS until healed.  My husband came 
home with a horrendous rash all over both arms. Washed area with jewelweed 
soap, then used  CS on it 4 times a day and it cleared in 3 days.


I could go on and on about using it topically.
