Based on my googling this sounds like nasty stuff that among other things causes nasty chemical burns if it gets onto skin.

I don't want to
do anything that will aggravate the RSD or cause other problems. On the other hand I don't want to keep having to deal with this every few months. Anyone else had any experience with this? Thoughts?
I have Rsd from having my ingrowing toe removed feel's like i have the pain all the time now very painful, you need to find a doctor who understand your RSD shop around the Doc i saw today knew all about it after doing 2nd operation. good luck
