Actually, hydrogen peroxide is my treatment of choice as well (but I would never say that something else doesn't work for others). In fact, I have intended to start a post about my experiences with HP.
Two things: The first time I had the awareness something was in my skin was after cleaning out the ornamental grasses. It started in my upper arm under the shoulder. It moved down to my forearm and left after that. I forget what I put on it. I know I bathed in salt and peroxide. And selsun blue shampoo (which is an anti-fungal shampoo....many people don't know that) went into the tub as well.
Then, this year, I had a sweaty day, and for the first time in over 2 years, I had the biting and itching in my upper arm again...same spot, same side. It was torture. I got up, and applied HP with a cotton ball CONTINUALLY until my skin looked white and necrotic. I could then see the track of where 'THEY' were and continued the application. The itching stopped. (I did apply CS though as well ;-) but don't know that it mattered. It was there.
Then, a few weeks ago, my fact broke out again in the same ol' spots as usual....and as they always have when I was hormonal. (that association is another story). Down on the chin, symmetrically on each side and also just under my cheekbones also symmetrically on each side. Other things worked to a point but when I did the HP rub, over and over and over again for good measure, they finally went away. So now, every morning and before bed I do that ritual with HP and finish up with either neem or tea tree and then coconut oil and my skin is looking great.
So there you have my attestation to HP!  |
