DMSO and Castor Oil

After the case of shingles I had on my lower back and belly had dried up, I used 50/50 DMSO and Castor oil concoction painted onto to the healing skin. I used a soft, fluffy long haired oil-painting brush, an artists brush, so as not to irritate the skin. It does sting a bit for a a few minutes, but feels good after that. Now that I'm well over the shingles, my skin still sometimes itches and might sting just a tiny bit and so I still put the 50-50 DMSO and castor oil concoction on it only now, I use a bathing brush with a long handle it it's much stiffer, but it feels really good on the skin now.
