What Is CARE+ Magnesium Sulfate Paste Used For?
This product is mainly used to treat minor skin infections like boils, carbuncles, and infected wounds. It’s also great for helping to draw out splinters, glass, or other small particles stuck just under the skin. Some people also use it to help with acne spots or abscesses.
CARE+ Magnesium Sulfate Paste Ingredients
The active ingredient in this paste is Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (47.76% w/w). It also contains glycerol and phenol. These ingredients work together to soften the skin and create a moist environment that draws out infection and trapped particles.
How Does CARE+ Magnesium Sulfate Paste Work?
Magnesium sulfate is known as a “drawing agent.” When applied to the skin, it helps pull pus, debris, or infections closer to the surface. It works by drawing moisture out of the affected area, which helps reduce swelling and inflammation. This makes it easier for the skin to heal and for anything trapped under the skin to be removed.
How To Use CARE+ Magnesium Sulfate Paste
Using CARE+ Magnesium Sulfate Paste is simple:
- Clean the affected area of your body with warm water and pat it dry.
- Apply a small amount of the CARE+ Magnesium Sulfate paste directly to the area.
- Cover the affected area of your body with a clean dressing or plaster and leave it on for several hours or overnight.
- Wash off gently with warm water.
- You can repeat this once or twice a day until the issue improves, but avoid using it on broken skin unless advised by a doctor.
How Quickly Does It Work?
Many users notice a difference within 24 to 48 hours. The paste starts drawing out pus or splinters after the first application, but for deeper issues, it may take a few days of use. Always follow the instructions and avoid using it for more than a week without speaking to a healthcare professional.
