Summer, the shiny, scaly flaky I still have! And I know what you mean, there's some sort of gratification when you peel off yucky skin :) I havent painted in 3 days but the skin on my forehead and jawline/neck is still scaly and flaky, but not as bad as before. I think it was like Wombat said, the Iodine kills the damaged skin. Am just waiting for the dry flaky skin to stop, if it does.
I would paint again but it does sting pretty badly and I dont want my face to end up like that foot!! I've diluted it in coconut oil and use that instead. I put quite a few drops in a small amount of oil so it's quite reddish. It stings a tiny bit when I apply the mixture after I peel some skin off.
Where are the moles located that you are trying to get rid of? How long have you been painting your moles for?
