Good call on that soap, Fred.

Any of the rough soaps will work, like Lava (ouch!!) too, but that is because of the abrasives and there was always the old-wives tale bleach cure on the skin. I don't know how that would work on equipment, and how the new color bleaches would work as I don't think they are chlorine based.

Good luck, and hopefully you'll not be so reactive to it next time.
