It has always caused skin itching and irritation for me. But I use it anyway because it provides almost instant relief for muscles, tendon, ligament, and joint pain and/or injuries. What I've found is that that prickly itching goes away as soon as the DMSO dries, which takes only a few minutes using the 70% liquid. The gel takes a lot longer to dry and prolongs the itching, so I no longer use the gel. If the itching gets too intense such that I can't stand to wait for it to stop on its own, I just wipe the area with a clean damp wash cloth. But lately, I just bear it because with the liquid it doesn't last that long.
Hubs and I eliminated the prickly itching thing by using some type of herbal salve with the DMSO. For my arthritis and general joint pain, we either use Willow Balm or one of those warming salves you can get at a CBD place. Might just be that oils or anything greasy helps soothe that prickly stuff away.
