Does DMSO carry Quercetin through the skin?

Quercetin Dihydrate is readily soluble in DMSO.  Will DMSO carry it
through the skin? Quercetin is a bioflavonoid and a potent anti-
inflammatory. I read a report where researchers were trying to make a
skin patch with Quercetin, and were trying to mix it with various
chemicals to get it absorbed – but no mention of DMSO.  Is DMSO banned
for such purposes?

    DMSO carries so many things through the skin that it can be
    dangerous to use.  A more selective carrier is safer,

    Oleic acid maybe.
