How long does it take for Ichthammol ointment to ripen pimples?
It usually takes 3-4 days for Ichthyol ointment to ripen pimples, but it depends on the specific situation and individual differences. It should be noted that if there is a lot of local pus, it is usually not recommended to apply Ichthyol ointment. You can go to the dermatology or surgery department of a regular hospital for treatment, and discharge the subcutaneous pus through surgery to help with early recovery.
Ichthyol ointment applied to the skin surface can effectively inhibit skin inflammatory reactions and has a good therapeutic effect on bacterial infections. It can not only reduce swelling but also expel the already purulent tissue inside the body as soon as possible. The so-called ripening can achieve the desired effect in 3-4 days, but if the location of the infection is relatively deep, the onset time may be appropriately extended. After applying for a period of time, the local skin surface may break open, so it is recommended to keep it clean to avoid aggravating the infection. While applying Ichthyol ointment, you can take some antibiotic drugs orally under the guidance of a doctor for comprehensive treatment, and the effect will be more satisfactory.
