You just put a little isopropyl alcohol on the hand or whatever and see what happens. When I do it I get a rapid increase in pain. Even water evaporating from my hand will cause pain so I have to dry it immediately. I get a little pain just thinking of putting alcohol on it.
Hi The reason it hurts is because isopropyl alcohol cools down the body!! remember yrs. ago when baby had a high fever, this alcohol was used to give babies a alcohol sponge bath? it cools the body down. Just like ice, we can't use this on our RSD areas because it just makes this worse, as does the "Isopropyl alcohol treatment"!! I have NEVER heard of this in my life?? take care. Love, Desi
