Ichthammol ointment has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It is mainly used to treat boils clinically. It is a prescription drug and needs to be used correctly under the guidance of a doctor. Patients cannot use it themselves. Boils can recur and require systematic medication for treatment.
What does ichthammol ointment treat? The main ingredient of ichthammol ointment is ichthammol, and its main function is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. It can be clinically used to treat boils, folliculitis, etc. It is mainly used for folliculitis and boils that have not ruptured and become suppurative.
The side effects of ichthammol ointment include skin irritation and allergic reactions. Generally, the side effects are not significant. Vaseline moisturizes the skin, softens the stratum corneum, and makes it easier for drugs to penetrate the skin and enter the body. Vaseline generally does not have significant harm to ordinary people. Therefore, we know that the side effects of using ichthammol ointment are not significant, but some patients, such as those with liver and kidney dysfunction and allergic reactions to ichthammol, may have serious consequences after use.
