TREATMENT THAT WORKS

Please try Epsom salt and warm water and let it soak into you skin. After one use of it I woke up and so much of my PR has cleared. I only let it soak in for about 10 mins. Seriously give it a try because it promotes healing of the skin.

It was my moms idea because when she had elbow surgery she used this trick and her surgeon was amazed by how well and quickly her skin healed.

Try it! Anything is worth a shot believe me I tried a million things and just last night I was crying about how awful I looked and I felt it would never get better, but I am so grateful to have woken up looking a million times better.

Hope this helps someone!

Everyone feel better soon! Believe me it does get better!

Feel free to message me if you need any support or encouragement.... I know this is a negative time but we must stay positive!! smile

      I actually didn't bathe in it, but you can! I just soaked gauze in it and then wrapped the gauze around my body and let it soak in.

      There should be instructions on the bag the salt came in.

      It should say how much salt per cup or something like that! Good luck!

    bethy lizzy, my daughter is currently suffering through this and we are going to try your remedy. After soaking her face with the Epsom salt, do we rinse it off or leave the residue on because as you may know the Epsom salt leaves a white residue? Thanks for your reply!

    How much of ur body had the rash? I'm asking cuz I have it mostly on my back but red spots all over from my legs to my chest........ Is using gauze more efficient or is bathing in the salts?  And I've only used salts that are scented....... Should I use unscented salts?
