Patient's question:
I used to have it twice, it broke out automatically, and I had to go to the hospital for intravenous drips. But yesterday it flared up again, and the hospital prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine. My friend said that applying magnesium sulfate powder externally is very effective. In the afternoon, I bought a pack of magnesium sulfate powder, but I don't know how to use it. Should I pour the powder into a towel and then pour some hot water on the towel? I hope my friend who is a doctor can help me urgently. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, magnesium sulfate warm compress can be used for external application treatment of diseases such as boils, bruises, and cysts.After dissolving magnesium sulfate powder in hot water, place the towel in the magnesium sulfate solution, then take out the towel and apply it to the affected area for a warm compress.
