Title: !!!!HELP with a mixture i made
Post by: konisfilos on July 15, 2019, 05:35:56 PM
Hey guys,
i am new here and i really need your help with something.I dont know if this is the right place to ask but here it goes.
I have a mixture which consists of dmso(~65%),bacteriostatical water(~25%) and liquid iodine(~10%).I first mixed the dmso with the water and let it cool down because the reaction of these two produced some heat.I then added the iodine.

I dont know if mixing the iodine with the other two was a good idea.I planned to firstly apply the dmso to my skin and arround 10-15 later i would apply the iodine so that it would be absorbed transdermally.But i thought that since i am going to use these two at the same area of my skin and one after the other,why dont i just mix the mtogether?And so i did.It's been about 6 weeks since the mixing and the smell of the mixture has slightly changed and also when i apply it to my skin it burns MORE than it did about a month ago.

What should i do?throw it away?what would you do if you were in  my shoes?

Sorry, we won't give you advice on self medication, this is spelled out in the forum rules.

The only advice we have is - throw it away and don't try again.
