I use "Prid" drawing salve with ichthammol in it and it works wonders at drawing the bean things up. I found it a Walmart and it's in a little orange tin by the bandaid section. I've also purchased the icthammol ointment from Walgreens, but had to ask a pharmacist for it as they keep it behind the counter. I find the ointment smells like tar, but the Prid is much less offensive. Both work equally well. You must leave it on the sores for a while to get an effect, however I've never left in on over night and it still worked like a charm. Not a perfect solution, but it helps as an aid to clear out the wounds.
Hope this helps! |
