Why would anyone apply EDTA to their skin? 1998 paper:
“A clinical and histologic study in four patients revealed that apomorphine with EDTA caused severe subcutaneous nodules, histologically characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate with a large amount of eosinophils, indicating a cell-mediated allergic reaction. After withdrawal of EDTA, this allergic component completely disappeared, which was accompanied clinically by less extensive nodule formation with a softer consistency. It is therefore recommended that EDTA be excluded from apomorphine formulations.”
Hi Geoff, would topically be safe?
