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 First Aid Salve on the affected area. Cover with a bandage if wound is open. Repeat as needed.
