Re: Damned Folliculitis Hurtin' My Kid
20% of the body's need for Iodine lies within the organ known as the skin
I used to have really bad ringworm (tinea, skin fungal problems). Taking
Iodine internally eventually took care of the reoccurrances I was having...
I did, however have a huge scar on my leg that I had already dealt with with a doctor's toxic medicine some years back. Even that scar tissue (looked like a big brown stain) is disappearing. It used to be so easy to see where the ringworm was really bad...now it takes a bit of hunting to find the spot! (And it was HUGE, the circumference of a golfball!)
My skin still isn't 20-year-old-body perfect, but it's a darn site better than it was! The bottom line is that since
Iodine also takes care of
infections, and that folliculitis is an infection, I would suggest she take iodine.
I love the
magnascent iodine and just so you know I've been painting my husband's spider bite with it. We have reason to believe he was bitten by a brown recluse, and he had a terrible spreading of cellulitis from it. It had spread a good ten
inches from the bite site, and got all red and angry and raised up.
It was scary. (Have you seen photos of how bad that can be?) The redness is now just around the bite and husband is getting more and more convinced that the iodine is what's taking care of it!
You could try the povidone iodine cuz it's so cheap, but the magnascent soaks in so well and so quickly that she could paint in the morning, let it dry, put on long pants, and probably have no more orange stain by her PE class.
I love the magnascent iodine - we've been using the 2% on my husband's cellulitis.
