I've had some great results using the MMS1/DMSO on my hands. I play guitar, drums, and bass, which definitely adds up to a lot of tension and soreness in the hands and wrists, etc. When I drum, sometimes all it takes is playing one fast/challenging song to develop blisters. The friction between the sticks and your hands with acidic sweat between them is the perfect recipe for blistering. So yesterday I was practicing a song that requires very enduring 16th notes on Mr. Hi-Hat. 'Everlong.' Well that didn't agree with my hands very well; got some unpleasant blisters during it.
So what I did was: I put a glass on its side, and activated 2 drops of MMS near the brim. Waited about 30 seconds, tilted it onto my hand, then rubbed them together. I don't add water for this because I find that the ClO2 absorbs much faster into the skin without it. Besides, it's a small application so I find it appropriate for that reason as well. The downside is that your hands will have an odor from this, but I just rinse them with water a few minutes after the last step. Then I uncap a bottle of DMSO, pour a small amount onto my hand and do the same thing. (4 or 5 drops worth.) After a few minutes of absorption, some areas might feel a bit sticky, so just rinse your hands thoroughly afterwards. I did this no more than 3 times since yesterday, and already the blisters are about 80% healed. Normally it takes days to make that much progress. I definitely plan on doing this more frequently for tension and soreness which it aids as well.
Happy MMS'ing!
