Understanding the Itch and Burn: Ease MagnesiumUpdated a year ago

When using magnesium topically, some individuals may experience discomfort, particularly if they are magnesium deficient. This can manifest as a temporary itchy or burning sensation at the application site. Fortunately, this discomfort is usually short-lived and tends to subside within a few days of consistent use as magnesium levels normalize.

To minimize these sensations, consider applying smaller amounts to a specific area initially, gradually increasing the dose as your body adjusts. This gradual approach can help you reap the benefits of magnesium without the temporary discomfort associated with its topical application.

If irritation persists, it is advisable to discontinue the use of topical magnesium.
