Dear Shirley, Our investigations addressing topical uses of DMSO revealed that a consequential number of volunteers presented reactions announcing various forms of outer skin irritations.......when the solution strength was 70% or higher. Without offering an analysis of the whys, I would just suggest that you utilize a weaker (50% suggested) strength. At 50% we, almost never, experienced any form of skin surface compromise, during our research, from among any of our volunteer populations.......including the very elderly. Good luck in your personal experimental researches. sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
