INDICES> (glacial) acetic acid for exfoliating skin (2)
--------------------------------------------------------

>Anyone have info on the use and preparation of glacial acetic acid
>(what strength ?) for exfoliating the skin?

Glacial acetic acid was used full strength for 'burning off' plantar 
warts and to a lesser extent warts on other surfaces - at least until 
the end of the 60s in Australia.  Maybe they still use it.  I don't 
know about weaker solutions for 'defoliating'.
