Immediately twist a strip of paper to hold a small amount of the powder and apply it to the affected area. When you feel the powder begin to seep in slightly, quickly dab a small amount of oil onto the ulcer and spread it evenly. Next, cover the ulcer with a piece of Sinkwater Ointment Flower Seed plaster, adjusting the amount according to the size of the ulcer.
