Globe Ichthammol Ointment 20% (Drawing Salve) 1 OZ - Soothing Skin Relief, Treatment of Eczema, Acne, Boils, Splinters, Bee Stings - Maximum Strength (2-Pack)

I purchased this product based on the positive reviews and specifically to help reduce/eliminate a couple of cystic growths on my head. In the past, I have had these growths surgically removed (outpatient) but neither I nor my dr. could never stop/prevent or predict when/why these growths occurred. I must say I have been amazed at how effective this product has been. The cystic growths have gone away on their own after using this product. I am beyond amazed and extremely pleased. No more need to have surgery to remove these growths. Yeah!In addition, I have recently begun using this product to treat psoriasis on my hands (knuckles) and fingers (sides/bottom) that suddenly occurred in February 2017 and has persisted to the present. I tried another product, MG217 specifically for psoriasis, but it failed miserably and smelled even worse. That product was thin & smelly. This product doesn't smell like the MG217 and is much thicker. This product has been slowly returning my hands/fingers to normal, healthy skin. It's a nightly application process (and I don't like doing it) but it is working and my hands/fingers are about 90% better. This product seems to be healing the cuts/open wounds/red dry skin on my hands/fingers and I've only been using this product for about 1 month for this purpose. In addition, I used this product on my dog when she had a cancerous tumor on her left paw and this product healed that tumor. (She still had cancer and died in time, but she didn't have her paw cutoff). I would highly recommend this product as it has saved me from having surgery, prevented my dog from having surgery and has given me power finding effective treatments to heal myself and family.

Works very well

This stuff is an absolute necessity in any first aid kit and in your travel bag. It smells like asphalt and looks like tar and I have no idea how or why it works so well but if you get bit by an insect it WILL reduce inflammation, draw the poison and heal. My husband and dog were bit by a brown recluse spider and as soon as we found this stuff and applied it immediately started to heal. I give this as gifts. No joke.

I never had a BIG issue with boils/ingrown hair in bikini line area until about a year ago. I went from a standing position job to sitting during pandemic and then hit menopause so was getting an ingrown hair almost every week (stopped waxing so that's most likely the culprit).I had a golf size boil on my groin that literally kept me from walking (I am 5'6 150 lbs and could not even get a size large underwear to cover bc so swollen). I do have health insurance, however my sister had a terrible experience with lancing so I was DESPERATE!!!Applied this ointment and took about 12 hours to bring it to surface. Let me tell you, it was disgusting, no lie had to sit on toilet to let it drain before even trying to clean it.It will NOT miraculously drain all puss. You must apply gentle pressure around the area to coax it out.I had to reapply bandages with this ointment for about 10 days. No scar, no surgery. So that's fantastic.NOTES:I read so many reviews and was a little unsure how much to apply, how often, what bandages? So the following is my personal input.1) apply on the bandage.You can apply directly on skin, however the bandage will wick it away. Apply the size of the diameter of the boil to the bandage, then place bandage over boil.2) I am allergic to adhesive so I have to buy silicone bandaid, but they're great for being able to take a peak, apply more ointment, or see that it's busted. Search silicone bandages on Amazon and tons of options3) once the boil has started to drain, I HIGHLY recommend using gauze or pad vs a bandage. Bandages apply pressure and do not allow for drainage4) once open and you reapply, it stings like lemon juice on a paper cut, but dissipates quicklyI truly hope this helps someone, it was a miracle for me!

My granny used to use this for splinters and bringing pimples to a head! I had forgotten all about it until I an across it in a cvs. The drug store brand worked great. This kind was much more “stiff” and not quite as effective (ie: took longer and and an extra application) but who knows if that was the product or the type of injury we were using it for. I know the one I got from Amazon didn’t spread or penetrate as easily. Maybe it was an old box.

Had an issue with a cyst. Took some time, but it drew it to the surface. Would recommend!
