Glycerin Oil - JustDarcy. - Fri-11-11-2011
Hello all, I did some reasearch last night, being fed up with using steriod creams etc and to my suprise alot of people use glycerin oil and have good sucess with it, so i ordered some asap, Thought i'd let you all know that this creation from mother nature might be what we are looking for, definetly worth a try espeacilly how in-expensive and good for your skin it is!
In about 2002, animal model studies at Georgia Medical School established that Glycerin (glycerol) suppressed excess skin growth and foliation, and re-established normal layering. It also doubles healing speed and halves scarring. I've been using it with great success since on psoriasis flare-ups.
It penetrates the skin readily in 10-15 minutes, and is infinitely miscible with water (hygroscopic). So any excess rinses away instantly, or can be wiped with a damp cloth.
It is 3-carbon alcohol, syrupy, tastes sweet, and is an approved food supplement used in large quantities in everything from ice cream, to soaking raisins (to hold moisture in), to toothpaste, cosmetics, and skin lotions. Can be diluted to spray on, or applied by hand or on a cotton swab. For the scalp, apply 15 minutes before showering.
Works quickly, and suppresses itching better than most medications by calming the cells' cytokine output, it seems.
VERY inexpensive. Spreads readily and thinly, no rubbing in necessary.
Hope this helps! -JustDarcy.

Vegetable glycerin has been discussed intensively in many places and many find relief with it.I use it but after awhile have had to add my otcs back to my regime. It seemed to work well alone for awhile and then my spots started creeping back up.Many young children have had good results with it. I still use it because it is great to help loosen and remove the scale especially on my head.I mix it with a little water and use a spray bottle to apply it as it is to gooey alone.Many have had great relief with it mixing it with witch hazel.
Good luck with it,and be sure to let us know how it goes.

I am so glad I came across this post. I have Guttate P covering 80% of my body and hate topicals because of the yucky feeling of slime. I am going to try doing the spray technique and also like that after 15 mins you can wipe off the excess...
