Bath Salts for Dermopathy

[Buddhacide]

......would be an awesome name for a band.

Otherwise though I just thought I would share. I get dermopathy pretty bad on my feet. That's where it starts anyway. If I really push my luck I get it on my hands too. But its worse on my feet. In the past Ive used "O'Keefs healthy feet" as recommended by kapmkrunk, with more or less success. But I was on the googles the other day and came across an article stating that bathsalts (the soaking kind not the face eating kind) are actually good for removing dead skin. I went through my girlfriend's basket of mystery in the bathroom and found some. So I soaked for about 20 minutes, padded down, and went to bed. In the morning there really was a significant improvement. What had been peeling and disgusting was actually about 75% healed. I just did round two to see if there will be additional improvement. But I just thought I would throw it out there in case anyone else was going through something simlar. Definitely worth a try.

Try amlactin, shit actually works to both cure and prevent it. I just got over the WORST case of dermopathy a person could have (really, I dare anyone on this board to try and compete with it) and it totally cleared me up.

It burns with the wrath of a thousand angry gods if you get it in a raw patch of dermopathy. Just a heads up. But it does work. Very well.

Sounds like there's a keratolytic effect from them which is one of the reasons that AmLactin works so well. Was it just epsom salts or some fancy girly stuff?

Yes I know, my neck was on fire.

It was primarily magnesium sulfate, but had a few other things in there as well like vitamin e. I've never tried regular Epsom salts, but I think it's similar.

Odd ive just read this. Ive a new magnesium / potassium pool, ive been in it 2-3 times a day this week as its very hot here. Ive just finished 1 kg of waka & to be honest ive been thinking how little skin issues ive had. Wonder if the pool had any bearing ?
