What is an "ointment"?
An ointment is a smooth, greasy substance applied to the skin to treat various conditions or provide relief. It often contains medication or other active ingredients to help heal wounds, reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, or directly deliver treatment for skin issues. Ointments are thicker and more moisturizing than creams or lotions, making them effective for dry, cracked, or damaged skin.
