According to symptoms, work and personal habit, you can use the ointment 3 times per day or use it at night, and the smell would not affect others. If you have dry lesions, do pair up the ointment with the crocodile oil or the eczema tincture.

[ Use with the pure crocodile oil and the Eczema tincture for dry lesions ]

The oil is applied thrice a day directly on the eczemic patches, followed by the Tibetan ointment. The oil will help expel the heat pathogens as well as restore the colour of the skin. Eczema often leave behind damaged and pigmented skin which can become scaly over time. One way to distinguish a steroid remedy with a herbal remedy is to observe how the lesions heal. Steroids resolve lesions quite rapidly through suppression while herbal remedy will cause a temporary period of drying and expulsion before the lesion is resolve. In other words, the lesions go through a process of healing as compared to a sudden cessation of activity. The Medicinal centipede skin cream is recommended for psoriasis.
