Question 1

The directions say to discard the left over solution.  Does anyone know why?  I use it as a spray for a chronic itch and don't use the whole 2 cups

Accepted Answer

The Box has a 1-800-986-0639 number for questions. And this one would be a good one. I would like to know too:)) Here's a hint I use. A packet is close to 1/2 teaspoon. Bayers directions is to disolve 1-3 pkts in 2 cups or pint of water. I disolve 1/8 teaspoon in 2 ounces or 1/4 cup of water which makes it double strength so you could disolve 1/8 in 1/2 cup water for the lower formulation or adjust accordingly to your preference of strength. I open a packet which is not water proof sealed just paper so the powder is pretty stable and not subject to collect moisture out of the air. And pour it into a wide opening glass vial I have for this purpose. I do have a 1/8 measuring spoon and these are avialable here on Amazon mine came in a set I bought for this purpose to have smaller sizes. But you could make smaller batches and use a small fine misting spray bottle just making it up more often or daily if you are worried about the stablity of the product once made up. Like you I have a wide area to apply a solution to and a spray bottle would help with that. As it is I just swab my skin two times a day several times over a 15-20 minute period and it has helped. Also on the box is given a www.bayercare.com address if you want to try to get an answer to your quesiton via e-mails. I know I found your question months after you posted but maybe this well help others with same question or pondering about a similar situation. It really shot my rash down fast and was surprised I'd never heard of this solution in my 60 plus years for plant rashes and other non-fungal, non bacteria, non organism caused. I look forward to trying it on the prickley heat rash I get some summers next year too.

Question 2

Does It Work On Eczema?

Accepted Answer

Works great on eczema that is weepy.

Question 3

Can this be put into your ears? I suffer from recurring fungal infection in both ears.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is often used in ear infections, especially swimmer's ear. You use it as drops immediately after swimming as a preventative, and if you have an infection, you syringe out your ear with a warm solution of it twice a day. I was told to do this by a top ear doc in Boston, and have used it successfully four years.

Question 4

Is there any difference in soaking one time for 40 minutes or two times for 20 minutes

Accepted Answer

Basically no. I applied it to my mother for no more than 10 to 15 minutes. In days her condition cleared up. Remember every person is different
