If you have unbroken skin but would like to take advantage of the topical charcoal treatment, you can mix ascorbic acid powder with water to make a thick paste, and spread it over the skin. Wherever there is a staph infection under the surface, a small blister will form: healthy skin remains unaffected. You’ll probably feel some tingling, but don’t worry, you’re rinsing this off in 3 minutes. After rinsing, apply a wet charcoal poultice as directed above, and the charcoal will draw the infection out through those little blisters.
