SSKI solution topically


Dr. Jonathan Wright of the Tahoma Clinic in Reston, WA says that a mixture of SSKI/DMSO rubbed into the hardened Dupuytrens tissues twice a day may well restore these areas to normal over time. He specifically includes Peyronie's disease and Dupuytrens contracture, mentioning the thickening of the tissues in the palm and fingers. Has anyone tried this mixture which can be purchases over the counter?

SSKI + DMSO

So far I have seen only Dr. Wright proposing the use of SSKI (saturated solution of Kalium Iodide) combined with DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to treat Dupuytren. That does not mean that it does not help. More feedback would be interesting!

As to the side effects: SSKI is primarily proposed to treat nail fungi and fungus diseases. A veterinarian site ( http://www.infovets.com/free/canine/defa...page=F/F770.htm) describes as side effects for orally applied SSKI: "Side effects of SSKI include vomiting, lethargy, weakness, and nasal discharge." Rubbed onto the skin my guess would be that there are probably few side effects.

Re: SSKI solution topically

Let me know if anyone has success with this.
SSKI is an old treatment for Dupuyten's from the early 20th century. I don't know if it was a success. Probably not.

Adding DMSO will cause it to cross skin barriers and is a new twist on an old treatment..
It could lead to high levels of iodine and could be toxic. I am not recommending it, but if someone has success, please let me know.
You can post it on this forum.
Thanks Wolfgang!
