Good for boils, splinters and the like.

I bought this ichthammol ointment to treat a boil that developed on my standard poodle’s back. The vet mentioned surgery might be necessary if it didn’t improve, so I decided to try this as a last-ditch effort before going that route. I’m so glad I did!After just a few applications (I cover it with gauze to prevent licking), the boil began to come to a head and drain naturally. The swelling went down noticeably within a few days, and my dog seems far more comfortable now. It does have a strong smell (like tar), but it’s totally worth it for how well it works.This stuff is sticky and messy, but it’s doing exactly what I hoped—drawing out infection and promoting healing. Fingers crossed we’ve avoided surgery altogether! Highly recommend having a tube of this on hand if you’ve got pets prone to skin issues.

Wow, took the poison ivy itch away. Dark brown ointment, so I cover with a bandage.

OOPS I first sent the wrong review...sorry folks. This drawing salve does work make sure to give it time to do its thing.

Had a splinter in my leg for3 weeks. Doctor gave me prescription cortisone for it. I remembered my dad used to put black drawing salve on everything. Got tired of waiting for the prescription to work. Ordered the drawing salve. 2 days after application the splitter popped out. Like a whale breaching the surface of the water. This stuff is great.

Worked as described and a great price too!

This stuff really works… I’ve been suffering from inflamed, hormonal acne and this stuff decreased their size in one night!

I applied this to a stubborn pimple the night before and it was half the size the next morning. By day 2 it was flat. I think I found my holy grail.
