ointment for scrapes

Typical directions recommend applying a small amount of ointment to the affected area 1–3 times per day.

Several of the wound-care ointments advertise 24-hour infection protection for minor cuts, scrapes and burns.

Topical wound-care products are commonly available as ointments and creams.

Common package sizes range from small travel tubes around 0.5 ounces up to larger tubes near 1.75 ounces; examples shown include 18 grams and 1-ounce options.

You can find dye-free, fragrance-free, preservative-free, and paraben-free formulations intended for sensitive or irritated skin.

These ointments are also described for minor burns, chafed skin, moisturizing lips and hands, treating dry cracked feet, and in some cases for drawing out splinters or easing ingrown hairs and boils.
