I'm able to get only a small amount out before it gets irritated and starts bleeding, so I stop. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the fat is solid enough to be squeezed out, like the head of a pimple.

I wonder how sublingual B12 would do? I take it once a week or two. It's worth a try! |
Apparently, there are patches and ‘breathers’ as well ...
Let’s look into this, come up with a method and dosage and try it. Take some ‘before’ pictures and update every 2 weeks or so. Game?
