Globe Ichthammol Ointment 20% (Drawing Salve) 1 OZ - Soothing Skin Relief, Treatment of Eczema, Acne, Boils, Splinters, Bee Stings - Maximum Strength

My Shiba got a large splinter in his paw that had pushed all the way in, I put this on his paw, bandaged it up overnight and tried taking it out the next morning. After some manual pushing of the splinter I was able to push just enough out for me to take it out completely with tweezers. Saved a trip to the vet and a costly bill! Can’t believe how cheap and easily it worked! I’ll be keeping this in had at all times now.

I used this for my son’s acne which has been resistant to everything I’ve tried so far. He had a patch on his forehead for months that just wouldn’t go away, and I’ve tried everything. It took only 2 applications of about 3 to 4 hours each to bring the acne to a head. His skin eventually cleared in that area. I find the 20% ichthammol works faster and more efficiently than the 10%. It’s worth having in your first aid kit.

I have suffered from random boils throughout my life and tried SO many products. This is the best ointment ever! I used it daily (covered it with a bandaid) and by day 4 could barely see or feel the boil.

Drawing Salve is weird mountain cure stuff. The dark salve is known for drawing out poisons from your skin. The magic ingredient in drawing salve is this stuff, ichthammol. There's snake oil salespeople that sell that as a cure for all kinds of stuff, and there's the articles and studies and lawsuits to prove it. It is thought to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antimycotic properties. It is made from Coal Tar. It's black and it stains. I'm sure some of the products that use it are not from the safest distillation purity processes. The FDA has outlawed some of the products. This is pharmaceutical grade which is why I opted for this brand. About once a year something bites or poisons me. I am not sure if it's fire ants, no see ums, or maybe it's poison oak or ivy. But I will get a couple of tiny pimples. One or a cluster of a few. The latest time it was on my hand. Last time it was on my foot. But the little pimples itch like you can't imagine. They don't spread, or burst, but they insanely itch. To where I will itch the skin off and end up with a big scar. Nothing works. Hydrocortisone spray doesn't make a difference. Itch creams don't matter. Benadryl liquid, spray and pills don't lessen the itch. PRID has worked for me before but I decided to try this stuff. It smells. It goes on like brown vaseline. It stains your skin. But it works. Within two days the cluster of itchy pimples stopped itching and gradually disappeared. This stuff claims to work on bug bites, poison oak etc, and boils. If it is ugly and itching it probably treats it. I would not use this stuff every day, it's made from coal tar and probably isn't great in other ways but if you have one of the above (poison, bite, boil) then this stuff will get at whatever is in your skin to cause that problem. Some say it works on cysts, pimples, and splinters. Worth a shot. I didn't feel anything while it was on, but it seemed to do the trick.

This ointment is great! I had been suffering with a painful boil for several days. I was about to make an appointment to see my PCP when I stumbled upon this item when searching for home remedies to try. I paid for the same day delivery because at this point I needed relief fast. I used this ointment as soon as it was delivered. I covered the boil with gauze and within an hour the boil burst and there was relief! am so glad that I ordered this instead of paying for an appointment with my PCP.

We keep this at the ranch for our animals and minor bites and slivers. I’m a type 1 diabetic and stepped on a significant piece of wood that went to the bone and was buried in my foot. I immediately applied the salve then went to the doctor the next morning. It required surgery to remove, however there was ZERO bacteria or infection from the dirty wood! I know this ointment drew out the bacteria and saved my foot!

Not really work for me, am looking for cream to stop itching of my skiin.

This stuff is very effective in drawing out anything that needs to be removed. I've used it on a friend a few times, from removing toxins from a spider bite, removing a cyst, cactus needles and a splinter. This stuff did them all, everytime. The only thing about it is that you must be very careful when you use it because it is messy and difficult to clean up after getting it on yout fingers, or too much on the affected area. Always use a bandage that will cover the entire area and then some. Dont use one that is too small. This stuff will stain anything it comes in contact with, but it will draw out anything you need it to. Within 2 to 3 days, it's removed and healed.
