A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Your Doctor: Epsom Salt is Magnesium (Mg) Sulfate; used to cleanse/soothe minor skin conditions. Soaking can lead to absorption thru skin & raise Mg levels usually without harm. Hypersensitivity reactions can cause skin irritation but usually with rash. Panic attacks: result from anxiety; may manifest as skin sensations eg. tingling, resulting in your leg symptoms; can be successfully treated. See your doctor.
