I had a small patch of dermatitis appear on my face near my smile line approximately 12 hours after getting salmonella poisoning a couple of weeks ago. I tried a few remedies for perioral dermatitis that I found here like lugol's iodine, colloidal silver and apple cider vinegar, but nothing helped. The remedy would start to dry out the area, but then flaking and new bumps would reappear. Rooting around for something else to try, I found a small tube of silver gel in my medicine cabinet that I had bought about 4 years ago at the pharmacy in the wound aisle for a 2nd degree burn. I applied the gel to the dermatitis and it felt very cooling and soothing immediately, whereas all the other remedies I tried burned like the dickens. I reapplied the gel several times a day and after a few days the funky patch of skin was gone. No more redness even.
I think silver gel might be a more effective method for skin conditions than colloidal silver spray because it is supposed to last up to 3 days per application and definitely keeps the skin hydrated, which a cs spray does not. Hope this helps someone!
