As you likely recall, I had a very slow recovery from Chikungunya<\/a> and my immune system was low for a long time. During my recovery I noticed that I had little red spots on my limbs. It was hard not to notice, they were itchy and uncomfortable. At first I thought they were a flurry of mosquito bites but soon realized that they appeared on my legs and feet, where my socks protect me from mosquitos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried all of my usual techniques for cleaning my skin to no avail; hot water and soap, tea tree oil, antiseptics, hydrogen peroxide. Then I did a parasite cleanse. We usually take an anti-parasite every six months (or as needed) just in case. It didn’t have an effect. The red dots persisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little red dots were developing into a rash and I was starting to get frustrated when I noticed Sulphur Soap<\/strong> at a local pharmacy. The box boasted that this was a Germicide<\/span>, Fungicide<\/span>, and Parasiticide<\/span>. Oh, also Anti-Acne<\/em>; which, according to the internet, is apparently why most people buy it. So I thought, hey I’ll give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lathered it on and the redness immediately began to fade. A little over a week of washing with Sulphur Soap<\/strong> and it was completely gone. Later, I learned that I probably had ‘under the skin mites’, also known as Scabies. Sulphur cream – and soap – is a well known cure for them. A well known cure that I hadn’t know about, but now I know and so do you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This came back to my mind recently because I had another batch of red dots appear in a cluster on my left index finger – of all places – and had to break out the Sulphur Soap<\/strong> again. It’s rewarding to see them fade visibly away day by day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, yes, I fully recommend Sulphur Soap<\/strong>. It’s not just for acne. Have some on hand for mites and other skin maladies while living in the tropics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
