Domeboro Medicated Soak

When skin flares up from poison ivy, insect bites, athlete's foot, or a stubborn rash, Domeboro offers a time-tested way to calm the irritation. This astringent soaking solution has been a trusted remedy for generations, working to relieve itching, weeping, and inflammation associated with minor skin conditions.

The Domeboro Medicated Soak Rash Relief comes as a powder in convenient 2.7-gram individual packets. Each packet dissolves in water to create an aluminum acetate (Burow's solution) soak. The astringent action helps dry out oozing, weeping rashes while soothing the burning and itching that make skin conditions so uncomfortable. Because the packets are pre-measured, there's no guesswork - you get a consistent, properly concentrated solution every time.

To use it, dissolve one or more packets in cool or warm water, then either soak the affected area or apply as a wet compress for 15 to 30 minutes, repeating up to three times a day. One packet in a pint of water makes a modified Burow's solution; using multiple packets increases the strength. It's suitable for both adults and children and is a common recommendation for contact dermatitis, rashes from poison oak and sumac, minor cuts and scrapes, and irritation from insect bites.

Many people ask what makes Domeboro different from a cream or ointment. As a soak, it reaches skin folds and irregular surfaces that topical products miss, and its drying, astringent effect is especially helpful for rashes that ooze or blister - something moisturizing creams can actually worsen. Keep a box in the medicine cabinet for seasonal outbreaks and unexpected skin flare-ups. The individual packets stay fresh until you need them and are easy to pack for camping trips or travel where poison ivy and bug bites are most likely.
