Burrow's Solution has been around for a long time. Doctor's prescribe it for skin irritations and for shingles. Burrows is a solution of aluminum sulfate, acetic acid, precipitated calcium carbonate and water used with compresses on skin and skin wounds as an astringent, antiseptic and an antipyretic. Some people have complained of a burning sensation when it is applied while others say it feels cool. I suspect that the nerves in the damaged skin area are very sensitive to the solution causing the burning feeling but it should not damage the skin permanently if the exposure is short.
Burrows is available from pharmacies in bottles and may also supplied in pre-packaged gauze compresses. The compresses are often used on stasis ulcers for short period before applying a dry, sterile dressing. The solution acts as an antiseptic on open wounds. You wouldn't want to leave the compresses on the wound for longer than a few minutes because it is a weak acid and could ultimately damage the skin.
