Hi,

Many will say never to use bleach on the skin however this is a very dilute solution and the recipe came from a real dermatologist quoted in a national magazine:

Make a solution of two teaspoons of ordinary household bleach in a gallon of lukewarm water. Soak the affected area for ten to fifteen minutes.

Whenever I have offered this recipe the people write back to say that it was the only thing that worked and worked fast.
