For itchy skin, try sulfur!

Article Summary

A helpful remedy for sores between the fingers, as shared by a netizen, involves using sulfur. For itching and pain that worsens with scratching, boiling sulfur powder in water and washing fingers twice a day for three to five days can relieve itching. Alternatively, sulfur ointment from a pharmacy can be applied for one to two minutes twice daily, with results within three to four days. The netizen personally experienced relief after using sulfur ointment, as well as sulfur powder, which cured acne-like sores on their fingers within three days.

Here is the professional translation of the provided text into English: — **Helpful Netizen (Username: Rong’er, QQ: 3373628468) Shares a Remedy:** Hello, Teacher Hu, I’d like to share a remedy with you: For sores that grow between the fingers, accompanied by itching and pain—where scratching makes it worse—use sulfur powder. Boil it in water and wash your fingers with it twice a day. Continue this for three to five days, and the itching will stop. Alternatively, you can purchase sulfur ointment from a pharmacy and apply it to your fingers for one to two minutes, twice a day. The sores should disappear in three to four days. I recently used this remedy myself. I had acne-like sores on both sides of each finger, and they were extremely itchy. I bought sulfur ointment from the pharmacy, rubbed it on my fingers, and within two days, I was cured! Additionally, when I was a child, I often suffered from “qi sores,” which are similar to acne. They would itch intensely, and scratching would only make it worse. If left untreated, they could turn into pustules. No ointment seemed to work, so I bought sulfur powder from the pharmacy, boiled it in water at home, and washed the affected areas for three days. I used gauze or a handkerchief soaked in the sulfur water to wipe the sores. After wiping, it felt much more comfortable, and the itching subsided significantly. After three days, the sores were completely healed! — This translation maintains the original meaning while using natural and idiomatic English expressions.
