Someone's comment led me to try this, and wow
I tried this to deliver liquid magnesium and boron to a DuPuytren's contracture, which seems to be helping after a couple nights, but the amazing thing is that while doing that (putting silk gloves over the hand to make sure it doesn't get in my eyes), I noticed that a thin coat of the DMSO on longstanding skin issues is better than anything I've ever tried.  Both thumbs peel, crack, sting, get infected, since 1992.  Dermatologists are not able to help.  But the DMSO helps immediately, and keeps the skin stable.  Such a tiny amount of it does so much good.  Online they warn that I'll get third degree burns, etc., and a scientist I know says it's toxic to her experimental fish, but hey, whatever works.
