I've just applied Lugol's 5% directly onto the very dry rashy eczematous parts on my face and it stung like hell; especially the jawline. My jawline continually flakes thick skin and it looks like turtle skin (also applied to forehead and wrinkly eyelids).
Should I not do this? Is it too strong? What should I do to speed up healing process using Lugol's?
I also just made up a new batch of my usual salve (coincidentally very similar ingredients to Wombat's Salve not inc. Lugol's) and instead of tea tree, I added lavender; is this ok? I also didnt have castor oil... I was curious about whether essential oils might interfere with Lugol's. Any thoughts?
