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.
