Interesting reaction to skin painting

[Guest guest]

I decided to play around with skin painting yesterday. Started out

just dabbing Lugol's on skin tags, moles and some dark patches. Since

the " equipment " was already out, I then decided to paint the area over

my entire thyroid area (I have multinodular goiter, with a large

primary nodule in the left lobe).

While there was no reaction anywhere else (face, neck, chest, arms,

back), the patch over my thyroid stung like crazy. I noticed the

iodine was completely gone from my throat in less than 2 hours. What

remained was a red, irritated-looking patch. Guess where? Directly

over my primary nodule. Not only that, but the red patch was about the

same size as the lobe.

Interesting, huh?

Will be trying this again tomorrow (want to give my skin a day to rest).
