I have discovered that a wide variety of skin infections, boils, cuts,
picked and infected cuticles
and many others can be treated with great success by rubbing the
infected area two or three times a day with
non antiperpirant (no alumina) deoderant sticks such as Old Spice
stick and the kind of
deoderant sticks often found in thrift stores. (and ceasing to
aggravate these infections
by picking or playing with them, certainly!)
The infections usually immediately cease intensifying, quieten swiftly
and heal within days.
I have been to the hospital emergency room twice to have buttock boils
which have
gone far out of control lanced but whenever a buttock pimple arises I
rub twice a day
and they seem to quieten and go away rather than go nuclear.(God!!, if
you are
diabetic never NEVER pick or pop a buttock pimple!!!!!!! or welcome to
Mt Vesuvus!!!!!) If convenient, a bandage
over the rubbed area is handy but the wax carrier of these sticks
seems to maintain
a nice continuing contact in any case. The usual anti bacterial agent
in these sticks
is probably Triclosan. There are other ingredients often as well.
I cannot remember a failure to heal in years since I began relying on
this wonderfully
effective remedy for topical skin infections. There seems to be a
penetrative effect
as well, as a couple of rather nasty infections have fallen to its
use.
I am not a doctor, I would not presume to interfere with medical
treatment of a problem
so serioius to the diabetic or anyone else as skin infections can be
but I put this forward as very interesting and hopefully helpful
information, I think this would not be a wise
resource in really dangerous or extensive inflammations, obviously.
Personally I would not go a day without a good stick of deoderant
(without the
anti perspirant ingredients) in my medicine cabinet, so impressed
with it am I.
I travel with this stuff as well.
I also inquire if anyone else has had experience with deoderant stick
treatment of skin infections or if a medical professional wishes to
comment on this.
