Very strange that you said no. When I got a skin infection from a local swimming pool my doctor asked me to take baths in the solution of potassium permangate and water. It killed all the skin problems. I had some discoloration of the skin (aka it became yellow) but it passed after few days of regular showers. I remember using it also as a mild disinfectant and water purifier but only in super extreme cases. Plus this chemical got regular use in aquariums for fungus treatment.<br><br>Matt
