pour bleach on your wrist. Fels naptha was made by dial soap company for PI.
Will bleach cut the oil?

Fels Naptha was originally made as a laundry soap. Came (still does) in a bar. I remember my Aunt Claris cutting slivers off, softening them in warm water and tossing them in the wringer washer. It was found to work especially well on PI oils.

I do not like BLEACH. Too many bleach mishaps!!!
I do not know if it cuts the oils but my
CRAZY Brother and DH use bleach or rubbing alcohol after a break out. They swear that scrubbing the blisters open and then putting the bleach or alcohol on dries them up ASAP ... I say they are NUTS and opening themselves up to infection, etc... not to mention the pain!

@baymule , look for either Tecnu, Buji or Zanfel at the the drugstore. It's a scrub that absorbs and removes the oils and provides immediate relief. Can be used at any stage of the rash. It will dramatically reduce severity and the duration of the rash. Has no toxicity or side effects, safe for use on face, etc. and on children too.

Thanks @journey11 I am a member of that crazy bleach crowd, but it's already been established that I'm crazy. LOL

Bleach is pretty caustic. The other stuff is mild and safe, much like an exfoliating scrub you'd use on your face. As I understand it, it was created as first aid for chemical exposure for the military. Found Tecnu for $13.00 on Amazon, not too expensive, but no price is too high for me considering the relief. If you ever get a real bad case, be sure to keep it in mind. I recommend it to everyone. :)
