Shanti, yeah, just basic things like that. I just spray it on. I have also used it on the kids when they all had molloscum contagiosum which is a viral infection from the same family as chicken pox and they are quite persistent and can take months to get rid of them. I used the colloidal silver on the affected areas 3 times a day and the kids were completely rid of it within weeks. I have also used it for nappy rash for DS2 as well. He would get nasty reflux that would give him horribly acidic poo and sometimes his bum was red raw and it was the only thing I could use on it that wouldn't make it sting.
