Cont'd from previous post...

I also use it on my arthritic hands (the gel form with aloe vera adding 3-4 drops of helichrysum oil and used it to reduce the scarring from my replacement knee surgery. The scar is barely visible.

I will tell you that DMSO is a carrier that passes thru the skin so anything you have put on beforehand will be pushed thru as well so make sure to have a clean surface when applying it especially your hands.
I recommend the substack I mentioned to get the proper info since I am not a doctor.
