💊🧴 Ointments are topical medications that come in the form of a semi-solid substance, typically applied to the skin. They are often contained in tubes or jars and are used for various purposes, such as soothing skin irritations, providing relief from itching or pain, and promoting healing. Ointments can be made with different ingredients, including medicated compounds, herbal extracts, or moisturizing agents, depending on their intended use. They are commonly used in dermatology and can be an effective way to deliver medication directly to the affected area.
