Ingredients: Furacin Liquid or Ointment Medical-grade DMSO Instructions: Mix equal parts. Apply to leg. Cover area loosely with plastic kitchen wrap, conforming the plastic to the leg. Apply a standard bandage over the site. As a rule of thumb leave the sweat on for 12 hours. Then unwrap, rinse and allow to 'rest' for 12 hours, then re-apply a sweat for another 12 hours.
