Instructions for Use

Wrap the medicine in fine cloth. Divide the contents of each bottle into 3–4 portions and apply to the affected area 2–3 times daily, rubbing the solution into the pores until the skin feels a stinging sensation—this indicates the medicine is taking effect. Continue application for 3–5 days. If the skin does not sting, remove the cloth and apply the medicine directly; if the skin stings, discontinue use and resume after one week.
