Use: Always clean skin before adding any salve to it: you do not want to seal dirt, debris, and microbes into a wound because it could lead to infection.  After cleaning both skin and your hands, use a figure-tip amount of Itchy-Scratchy Balm on the affected area. Repeat as desired.

Please note: Sometimes shea butter creates little balls in salves when it cools. The salve is fine and safe to use, it will all blend into your skin as you rub it in.
