Benefits

For all types of swollen, malignant sores and swollen lumps with a red halo that have already formed pus but cannot be lanced.

Instructions for Use

Locate the area where the sore has formed a head, use a small needle to lance it open, apply a small amount of the medicine, and seal it with a piece of paper. The next day, the pus will drain on its own. If there is a lump in the armpit—known as a “hidden boil”—or if there are wandering lumps, lance the swollen area open with a needle as described above.
