Ad lib with the castor oil. Apply it first and then the DMSO.
When I mix the 70% DMSO myself, you can feel the heat being generated, with the bottle becoming almost too hot to touch. Me being in the tropics means high humidity, and likely a thin layer of sweat at most times. That moisture then reacts with the 100% DMSO and can be quite a bit of a burning sensation. The benefits were obvious, but since it hurt to apply the 100%, one had to think about it before deciding to use it. At 70%, most of that heat reaction seems to be dealt with.
Thanks for the tip for the skin tags... will be experimenting castor oil and 100% on myself in the next couple of days.
