update on my experiments i like running on myself:

leg braces: success. i mostly just will wear em for an hour or two after work to stretch out my gastrocnemius but it has made a HUGE impact on day to day pain both at work and after

potassium alum: positive results. i work in hazmat gear essentially for 10 hours straight so anything to stop sweat is something i will try. have been applying the alum after i shower and top up problem areas just before work; positive results in sweat heavy areas like pits, minimal body odor even without deodorant. less effective in places like inner elbow, back of knee, etc with presumably less apocrine glands. tried some on forehead as well with similar moderate results but it DID kill a big acne cyst on my forehead so hell yeah. no itching and no irritation from the metal salts

#postingviolence #for reference alum salts are the same thing as used as an antiperspirant in most commercial bars and one of the main ingr of styptic pencil #some people get irritation but alum in general does very little in the human body + most such products have other shit more irritating #like propylene glycol or essential oils #there's record of human use of alum for antipersp for like multiple thousands of years. we have been putting rocks in our armpits forever #so it is prooooooooobably fiiiiiiiiiiine
