Hi. I have had eczema above my eyes and on my arm for 15 years. I started applying colloidal silver (3ppm) to the affected areas with a Q-tip. However, I have been reading about Argyria, and I am very nervous about continuing the supplement. Should I worry about applying 3ppm of colloidal silver everyday on areas of my skin? I don't want to turn into a silver guy... All the best

Greetings:

There is extremely little risk of acquiring argyria with a 3 PPM colloidal silver used topically. Cosmetic argyria is caused by excessive amounts of silver ingested into the body. The silver complexes with proteins and then becomes lodged beneath the skin.

Even silver sulfadiazine, with comparatively massive amounts of silver salts, poses little risk when used on wounds.

Localized argyria from topical exposure to silver has, rarely, occured. However, the likelyhood of acquiring localized argyria is far greater with wearing silver-containing earings, than with using a 3PPM electrically isolated silver on the skin.

I've personally used properly made EIS on the skin for over eight years.

Kind Regards,

I believe in my 14 years of experience that soluble silver will not create angrea. When I use ionic silver or atomic silver with the little four leged ones I use drops. I'll put 3 to 10 drops in the water dish and always have a second water dish of fresh water for them to see which on they favor. They seem very in tune.

Silver could be uptook by the body like copper is and misused as copper because they are both group 11 elements - thats a wild guess as a possible mechanism for Argyria that crossed my mind - a wild guess. have enough copper (most people do, even an overload) selenium (most people dont) and vitamin E in your body. Note: Silver is a Selenium antagonist.
