Domeboro Astringent Solution Effervescent Tablets

For over 50 years, doctors have recommended Domeboro Astringent Solution for the soothing, effective relief of minor skin irritations due to poison ivy, poison sumac, insect bites, athlete's foot, or rashes caused by soaps, detergents, cosmetics, or jewelry.

Domeboro Astringent Solution, when applied as a wet dressing or compress, cools and cleanses irritated skin and soothes inflammation.
