My first post is going to be about Ichthammol Ointment 20%, It is a very good ointment to own. It can be found at any drug store, like but not limited to Wallgreen, Walmart, or any local small town drug store.
What is it good for you ask? Well it is good for drawing out things like, Splinters, glass, rocks etc: It also can help draw out infection and other things such as but not limited to Boils. This product is a drawing salve, it draws many things out of your body. My aunt is a nurse and uses it not only on her patients but on herself and her family. She swears by it, I have used it at her advice and find it very helpful as well.
This ointment is blackish brown and smells like tar. Though its disgusting look and smell, it does a very good job. You apply it once or twice daily on the area needed and then place a band-aid over that area. My aunt says that you place it on at night before bed and then take band-aid off in the morning and you will see your splinter or other object on the band-aid. Now in some cases it may take a couple of days to draw it out. However it works, and I love the stuff my self.
Of course as with any product that you use for medical purposes such as this kind of ointment you should discuss with your doctor. See what he/she has to say about it. See if it is right for you.
