Yet another use for vinegar

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have three new uses for vinegar that I am sure you have not heard of before. I enjoy your common-sense approach to medicine and thought that you would enjoy these.
First, for years, I suffered from the itching and pain of psoriasis. I used every over-the-counter cream and lotion I could find, but nothing helped. On a whim, I started rubbing the affected areas (my arms, legs and hands) with distilled white vinegar. It hurts like the dickens for a few seconds, but it clears up the scaly patches. I now use it regularly to clear up spots as they appear.
Second, I had warts under my eyes that I couldn’t get rid of. I carefully applied it with a cotton swab. In a few days, the warts came off.
Finally, my daughter had a rash on her abdomen so bad that she could barely function at her job. She rubbed vinegar on it, and, for the first time since she developed the rash, she slept through the night. After two or three more applications, it disappeared completely.
I don’t know why vinegar works when everything else fails, but it does.
DEAR READER: Vinegar is quickly becoming a useful medicine-cabinet product and quickly approaching mentholated-chest-rub status. Vinegar also has the distinction of being able to create tasty vinaigrettes for healthful salads.
Readers, let me know of your success or failure in treating a malady with vinegar. I will print a follow-up column when I have received a number of replies.
