## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the active and inactive ingredients in this product?**
A: Labeled: Ichthammol Ointment 20%.  Ingredients:  Petrolatum, ichthammol, light mineral oil, lanolin.  There are no labels for "active, inactive" it's a 1 oz tube.

**Q: how long does ichthammol salve take to work?**
A: It took about 2 1/2 weeks to work....still better than going under the blade.

**Q: Can anyone explain the exceedingly high price of this Perrigo Ichthammol Ointment 20%, 1 oz selling at the Price: $49.97?   Just a few years ago I bought a tube of Goldline Ichthammol Ointment 20% with all the same ingredients for $4.22. I see here on this site that 14 ounces sales for $12.00 to $19.00.**
A: The exceedingly high price is complete and utter greed.  I have been using this product since I was a child and you can buy it at Walmart for a couple of bucks.  Someone on Amazon is making a complete fortune.  Here is CVS's link:  http://www.cvs.com/shop/health-medicine/first-aid/antibiotic-antiseptic/cvs-drawing-salve-ichthammol-ointment-skuid-705149

**Q: description says 1 Oz but shipping weight 1 pound, why ?**
A: I don't know...I just ordered it without seeing the total weight....I checked to tube and it does state 1 oz....but this medicine works :-)

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works !!! Also know as Black drawing salve.
*by D***5 on May 10, 2013*

I ordered this product on May 7th 2013. Since it is not due to arrive until approximately no later than May 15th. And I was in so much pain with the boil under my left arm I decided to call around to the local drug stores where I live. Like (CVS and RITE AID) And I was able to go and buy it myself on May 8th. Oh my, I am so happy that I did. I started using it that day after I got home and I knew that I would not be going out into the general public. I washed with warm soapy water and sterilized under my arm with Hydrogen Peroxide. I made sure the area was completely dry before I applied the salve. Now it does not smell that great and if you know what Tar smells like, that is the best way to describe how it smells. I really did not care about that because I knew that the odor that would come from the boil under my arm would smell a heck of a lot worse and I was just simply tired of being in pain and not being able to sleep well at night.When you apply this salve you can put it on a piece of sterilized gauze or a couple cotton balls and tape it in place. And please make sure that you clean and sterilized the area each time before you apply this salve or any type of topical cream or ointment over the counter or one that prescribed by your Doctor to avoid further infection to the infected area.Depending on the size of your boil and location I prefer using the sterilized gauze because seems to stay in place lot better. I would used the medical paper tape that is used in Hospitals and Nursing homes by Nurses and Doctors. Because some of the other medical tapes may tear or irritate your skin and the fact that you are already in pain from having the boil itself, and you most certainly do not want to add to your discomfort. You can also purchase which ever medical tape you prefer at your local drug store as well. Word of caution it will stain your clothes or bedding so be sure to wear a shirt or other clothing you will not mind getting stained. Now after just using this salve for two days and two nights straight along with alternating warm compresses as warm as I could tolerate them. I am now as of today pain and boil free!!!! After taking my bath today and while drying myself off I noticed the boil under my left arm had come to a head, (which is the exact stage you need the boil to be so that you can expel the infection out of your body). So I took a clean paper towel and applied just a slight bit of pressure. And I was able to expel all of the infection out the boil. I washed under my arm again with warm soapy water and sterilized it again with more Peroxide and applied antibiotic cream and cover it with a piece of sterilized gauze. I will continue to repeat this process at least 2 to 3 times a day by keeping the area clean and sterilized until the area is completely healed. I'm a retired Nurse's Aid of 23 years and I have worked very closely with a lot of very well trained Nurses and Doctors, so I felted okay with treating my boil at home. And I have use this product before some years ago when I had a boil. So I already knew what to expect and I knew that it would work. But if you are not sure or comfortable with self treating a boil or any other type of skin infection at home. I strongly recommend that you consult with you own personal Physician or healthcare provider before you just start using this or any other product that you are not familiar with. It is better to be safe than sorry. Best wishes to you .Sincerely,very happy pain and boil free consumer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ichthammol
*by N***1 on September 6, 2013*

it did what said it would however was not as helpful as had hoped. The product was great , shipping was great . Our issue was that we are grasping at straws so since this worked somewhat for his issues of weeping wound we are moving on to the next phase of the operation and trying something elsethanks

### ⭐ no help for boils
*by J***G on October 17, 2013*

So disappointed! This ointment did not help the boils in any way. It was our last hope. There really is no hope for someone who has the hellish experience of living with boil outbreaks............
