My youngest son has literally a ton of scars and ongoing skin issues from the shedding of his schoolmates (there's enough anec-data suggesting that younger folks shed more than older people). I've also had more skin tags appearing in just the last few years.
So Barbara O'neill, who's a big advocator of castor oil, has mentioned that applying 'good' castor oil heals a lot of skin issues over time as it contains many critical nutrients and vitamines which our skin needs.
DMSO major characteristic is that it can penetrate much deeeper past the skin barrier, and bring along whatever compounds is applied together with it.
So I've had my son diligently applying castor oil on his most affected skin areas and then adding DMSO. When I've helped him to do that at times, I also use the leftover oil and DMSO on my hand to apply it on a couple of areas where there's signficant scar tissue.
Yes it works, and much faster than either by itself. While my son's skin is still not totally smooth, it's lightyears better, and it's also helped to rebuild the skin layers so that he no longer has undue sensitivity in the most damaged areas. As for the couple of big scar areas where I've applied it, after just 7 or 8 applications, those areas are like 1/4 the original size.
Towards the end of last year, for whatever reason, my left foot would end up slipping on a super slick surface and cause me to smash my right knee on the ground.. about 3x in 5 days. I was extremely busy at that time and may have let my various SOP practices slide.. but it happened to surefooted me so while I could still heal up fast, there was a deeper mass of scar tissue in my right knee and I could no longer kneel on it as the deep scar tissue would impinge on some nerves upon outside pressure.
So 2 weeks ago, I purposely used the castor oil/DMSO on the right knee... and after 7 days, the deep scar tissue feels like at least 3/4 broken up or dissolved. And yes, I can put kneeling pressure on that knee now.
I am using 70% DMSO, which I mixed myself from a 100% 500ml bottle which I bought from an online seller out of Taiwan for $17. That's just to give you an indication that even the cheapest US prices on Amazon is a few times more expensive than non-US sources.
