Read this if you're like me and Iodine only helped up to a certain point topically:
PLEASE READ THIS UPDATE!!!
I read about bismuth subgallate from tonie on curezone. She said it dried and cleared problems up and she is right! Even better than Iodine which didnt go as deep as the bs. Iodine rid me of itching but I found it couldnt get rid of all the layers under the, skin so I never fully healed. Maybe I was too impatient but when I made a paste of the bismuth subgallate it started to dry out the layers and mend the skin more thoroughly than the iodine.
Its made for deep wounds like after one has an extreme face peeling. It is yellow powder. I got mine online from MediChest.
