Medical Expert Tip: Use the "Flame & Tame" Method
Gastroenterologists recommend a 2-step approach for maximum relief. This ointment is Step 2 (The Tame). First, use a medicated Witch Hazel pad to "Tame the Flame" by cooling and cleansing the area. Then, apply this ointment to "Tame the Swelling." This ensures the medication is absorbed effectively for faster healing.
