I am not familiar with your condition. I do know natural remedies and from what I gather by reading some of the answers posted about your condition, none of the items you mentioned would do anything for you. DMSO and arnica are for pain (inflammation too, but I don't think they would help you here). Potassium iodide is to protect the thyroid from radiation and can only be used for 10 days at a time and again, is not appropriate here. With out doing further research on your condition, I can give you some info that may help. Grape seed extract is a major antioxidant and increases elasticity of tissue, including your arteries, capillaries and veins. If you choose to try this, know it is best to get one that has a Procyanidolic value of 95. Also, hyaluronic acid may be very appropriate for your condition. It does many things but specifically for you, I am addressing it's wound healing. They have done studies that show it cuts wound healing time in approximately half and also improve the appearance and severity of scarring. In choosing a hyaloronic product, one must make sure they are getting one that has gone thru a process to make sure the average dalton weight of the molecule is small enough to be absorbed and utilized by the body. There is Injuv and Bio-Cell Collagen II, the latter giving you much more bang for your buck. There are MANY very effective and safe natural anti-inflammatory products on the market, so you might want to go to a good local health food store and see what they have to offer. Health food stores have a variety of "talent" as far as knowledgeble staff, but it is very possible to find one with awesome consultants. None of the above products are for external use, rather are for internal use. Basically, by taking these, you may well be giving your body the tools it needs to heal itself. Hope this is of some help and I wish you well.

Medications:
Over the years, a wide variety of medications have been used to treat Peyronie’s disease. Some patients have benefitted, while others have found their medications seemed to make little difference. This variation in treatment outcome and the resulting lack of consensus regarding the drug(s) of choice reflects in part an uncertainty with strategy. While doctors can’t say with precision what causes the disorder in each individual case, there does seem to be a common disease-producing process in all men. Yet where, in this complex spectrum extending from early wound healing to late scar formation, do we intervene with medications? This question remains a topic of clinical research.
In general, changes in tissue elasticity that accompany the inflammation of early Peyronie’s disease are reversible, whereas the loss of elasticity associated with the end-stage scarring characteristic of the later illness is not. Since it is a consequence of local change in elasticity, bending responds best to medical therapy in the early stage, a period that generally lasts about six months.
In order to evaluate medical treatments, we should know how a case of Peyronie’s disease evolves on its own, in the absence of therapy. Understanding this so-called natural history of the disease provides a basis for comparison, and a means for deciding when surgical intervention may be appropriate. During the intial six months of the disorder, erections can be painful. Eventually, even in the absence of treatment, the pain usually goes away. Unfortunately, bending does not always follow the same pattern. Though it may improve or resolve spontaneously in a minority of men, most untreated men with Peyronie’s disease will retain some degree of penile distortion. Most medical treatments have a success rate of about 60% in improving bending. Some factors associated with a tendency for bending to persist are: the presence of dupuytren’s contractures, the presence of heavy plaque calcification, and the presence of severe (greater than 45 degrees) curvature.

I'll be honest in saying I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about here, but I did recognize those letters, DMSO. It’s was originally intended as a muscle rub for horses, how it become one for humans I’ll never know. But I know that my mother, as well as my step father, used it on a shoulder injury. While it works well, you have to be very careful because it can blister your skin if not properly massaged in or if you accidentally use to much. This happened to my step father and appeared to be quite painful, so I’d read up on it first if I were you, or if you’re looking for something to help with muscle pain (as DMSO does) try using BioFreeze. After the blistering incident that’s what my parents use and they have no problems and I’ve used it a few times myself. But as I said, I’m not really sure as to what you’re talking about; those four letters (DMSO) just caught my attention.

DMSO OR DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE ( NOT SURE OF SPELLING) IS HORRIBLE STUFF, AND IT IS RARELY INTENDED FOR USE IN HUMANS. I HAVE A BLADDER DISEASE, AND I HAD 8 INTRAVESICAL INSTILLATIONS OF DMSO, AND IT MADE MY BLADDER A LOT WORSE, AND THE PAIN WAS HORRIBLE. STAY AWAY FROM IT IF YOU CAN.
