Anyone Have Experience with Epsom Salts?

[Guest guest]

My chief symptom is rash, which seems eternal. It was biopsied and I was told it

is not fungal, but antifungals in the past seemed to help. Last summer a

dermatologist told me to soak three times a week in a combo of sea salt and

baking soda. I did it three times and got progressively worse each time. It was

a disaster. The last thing I need is drier skin, and I am afraid that the salts

will only dry me out.

I have heard that epsom salts help. I checked online, and some sites say epsom

salts are not drying, while sea salts are; other sites say just the opposite --

that sea salts are not drying but epsom salts are. My skin is already too dry,

and I am afraid to try the epsom salts.

Any experience out there? I want to help my rashes, but it seems everything I do

makes them worse. And I don't mean in a " healing reaction " sort of way, I mean

it makes them worse.

What is the typical experience with epsom salt baths? Dryness? Irritation?

Infammation? Relief? Right away? After only one? After many?

Thanks.
