DMSO2

[Yuval Bar]

I buy some dmso from a vet and i use it.
the dmso is burning the skin and after mybe half n our
i look at my hand and i saw a red burn on my forarm
its gone after a few ours.is it supose to be like that?.
on the batlle thers a label: 90% dmso+
0.2% prednisolone acetate. its very hard to use it like that mybe somone know what the problem is?

70% and higher tends to burn. If its a liquid ( not a roll on or gel) you can try adding distilled water to it in small amounts until you get it to a mixture that doesn't burn. The amount you add depends on the amount of DMSO2 you are adding to. Appx 2 ounces of water added to 16 ounces of 90% DMSO2 will bring it down to 70%. The DMSO2 will heat up in the bottle when you add the water but it will cool down in a couple minutes.

thank u Tom but my dmso is a gel.so what can i do?

[T Coates]

You can mix in small amounts of aloe vera gel...about 1/4 to 1/2 ounce per 4 ounces of DMSO2 should bring it down to appx 70%

ok thank u tom. i have an aloe vera gel from skin gard sun protection formula.is it safe to use it?

[T Coates]

yes mix in about 1/4-1/2 ounce aloe vera to 4 ounces of DMSO. that should put it to appx 70%. start with 1/4 ounce and see how that feels. you may be able to handle it at that percent (appx 80%) if not add up to another 1/4 ounce.

thank u very much. i try it with the a-v and it dosent burn like before just a little bit.i hope it work beacuse i have an elbow injury for a long time.b-t-w how do i remove the dmso from the skin if it dosent dry?

[T Coates]

the aloe should make it dry a little better. if its not being absorbed in a few minutes then you are probably using too much. try using less and wipe off any excess with a paper towel/ towel
