Globe Ichthammol Ointment 20%, (Drawing Salve) 1 OZ | Pharmaceutical Grade**** |Soothing Skin Relief and Treatment of Eczema, Psoriasis, and Acne| Ichthammol 20% with Minimized Scent |

My Mom put this on every cut and splinter I got as a kid, and finding it again felt like running into an old friend. There's something reassuring about a product that hasn't changed much while everything else has. I do a lot of gardening and odd jobs around the house, so this tube gets regular use. Between splinters and the occasional cut, it earns its keep. The smell isn't exactly what I remember, but it still doesn't take much to feel it working. A small dab, cover it up, and let it do its thing overnight. The tube is fair sized and goes a long way since you only need a thin layer. It's become part of my regular first-aid stock, right next to the bandages. I'm not a doctor and this review isn't medical advice. I'm just a longtime user who's glad this stuff is still made. Bottom line: A trusted classic that still performs. If you grew up with drawing salve in the house, this will feel like coming home. ~Thomas Tried and True

This is old school. My husband's mother used it when he was a teenager 40 years ago, and she swears by it. I've been using another type of salve that has been working, but it's not a 100%. This is for cysts underneath the skin or boils underneath the skin. Im putting it on my husband's back. so I will update you after I put this on and let you know how it works. But it is for removing splinters, slivers, cysts boils, poison ivy, nettles. Mosquito bites, spider bites instincts from bees. This is known to help it is black, so it will stain your clothes. It looks like tar. You do have to put a gauze bandage over top of it. You can order them the same time you order this. If you don't have any. It can treat minor infections such as ingrown toenail. It brings soothing relief. You apply it to minor skin irritations. However deep wounds or serious Burns or other conditions, you should talk to your doctor before using it. Make sure you clean the affected area applied on a gauze Bandage, once or twice a day. Repeat, as necessary. Do not rub or massage the affected area. Just put this on there if you have any questions. There's a phone number, an email on the side. This is distributed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA, however, it is made in China.

A drawing salve. This salve is used if you have a splinter and it will draw it out, if you have a boil or acne that isn't ready to drain then you put this miracle salve on it and it draws it to the surface. this can also be used for relief of insect bites or even psoriasis. I honestly wished I knew about this salve when I was going through puberty and had acne. also for relief of insect bites that swell. Now the cons: it stains clothes so be careful. normally this ointment smells like tar but this particular brand does not, very important. By the ocean we use this a lot because of stepping on sea urchins and this draws the splinters out instead of urinating on the area.

Works pretty good. Hard to apply but that is just the type of paste it is. Also used on my chicken’s foot!

This stuff works. I developed a ganglion cyst on the top of my left foot. It could have been while walking on a boardwalk where I almost tripped but caught myself. My foot was jarred. The next day I walked barefoot on the beach on Mobile Bay and noticed my foot was very sore. When I got home I saw a ganglion cyst on the top of my foot. I had one surgically removed more than 10 years ago in the same place. I had a walking shoe for about 6 weeks afterwards. I wanted to avoid the summer in a walking shoe and looked for alternatives. I have a hot tub. This is what I did. I would get in the hot tub for about 15 minutes at about 102 degrees and let the jets run over the spot. Not too close, just enough to stimulate blood flow. Then I had a Hooga red and a Hooga green therapy light. The red one works on deeper tissues than the the green. I did not know if these would help or not but I owned them so why not try. I would hold the bulbs about 6 to 12 inches above the spot for about 10 minutes. I would do one in the morning and the other in the evening after getting out of the hot tub and taking a shower. Then I used this ointment appiled with a q-tip, put a cotton round on top and wrap in coband. I would put a sock on to keep in place overnight and removed it in the morning. The ointment was delivered May 25th. This is now May 31 and you really can not see the cyst unless you know where to look. I am going to continue using the lights and maybe the ointment for a few days but will probably quit soon unless the cyst returns. There are 3 variables here, heat, red and green light therapy and the ointment. The Hooga bulbs cost about $40 a piece. I got used like new for less. This ointment is not that expensive so if you consider the cost of seeing a doctor and the inconvenience it was all worth it. By the way, I am the wife of the person named on the account. Hope it works for someone. Very few reviews actually identify ganglion cysts. Look it up. Some people have had these cysts for years. No way of determining if the lights would work alone or the ointment alone. Total cost is not that much. I am pleased with the results. Sorry, I did not take any photos. Just my testimonial.

It works well for mosquito bites and helps relieve itching quickly without irritating my skin. I appreciate that it doesn’t cause any unpleasant effects and is gentle. This has been very helpful to have on hand, especially during mosquito season. I would recommend it!

Doesn’t work like it used to. Disappointed

I initially ordered this for someone else but had it laying around. Noticed a bump on around my newly pierced belly button ring and was about to freak out. I disinfected it with antibacterial spray and saline then gave this a shot and covered with a bandage. Kid you not, about 6 hrs later I took the bandaid off before showering and whatever was in that bump was all out and my piercing is saved. 10000/10000
