When I was 15, I discovered I apparently have an allergy to the practically invisible pests known as “noseeums”. When I slept with the window ajar, I woke up with welts over ALL my exposed skin. 😱
After several rounds of antibiotics- to no avail- I think it got worse- I was a walking, weeping, constantly-cracking, giant scab!! I had to have Senior pictures taken while my face was one big yellow scab. 🫣
My general practitioner finally pulled me aside and told me to go buy a single bar of IVORY soap- no dyes. He told me to shave/grate the soap and then soak it in water until it became malleable. Once the soap had softened, I was advised to cover the weeping scabs with the glop and allow it to dry naturally. I reapplied more mush once a day for about 3 days 😉 I covered the wounds on my extremities with gauze bandages (the glop they soaked up was not appealing 🤢), while leaving my face open to breathe- I slopped a fairly thick layer of the soap on and let it dry into a slight whitish “crust” (which actually felt way better than the scabs 😉).
Aside from the little trails of Ivory soap I left in my wake, this was AMAZING!! NO ITCHING! NO WEEPING! NO CRACKING SCABS!! The “Ivory patties” drew out the infection and desiccated the wounds so they could heal 🥰
I have since used this same process for brown recluse bites and suggested this remedy to friends who have been afflicted with abscesses throughout the years 🙏🏻♾️💖
I pray this provides relief for someone like it has for me 🙏🏻♾️💖
