When may Ichtholan 10 %, 20%, 50% traction ointment not to be used?

When is caution required when using Ichtholan 10%, 20%, 50% traction ointment?
In the case of purulent skin inflammation, especially boils, there is a risk that the inflammation is passed on by smear infection and eventually a hard-to-control furunculosis (the recurrence of boils) develops. Careful bandaging technique is therefore necessary (see «How do you use Ichtholan Zugsalbe?»).
If a local deterioration occurs or if there is no healing within 2-3 weeks, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted. If the general condition deteriorates (e.g. fever), a doctor must be consulted immediately.
During treatment with Ichtholan traction ointment in the genital and anal area, the fats and emulsifiers contained as auxiliary substances and the simultaneous use of latex condoms can lead to a reduction in the tear strength and thus to an impairment of the safety of the condoms.
The use of other ointments or creams can impair the effect of Ichtholan Zugsalbe. Ichtholan can increase the solubility of other active ingredients and thus enhance their absorption into the skin.
Ichtholan contains butylated hydroxytoluene and wool wax, which can cause localized skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis). Butylated hydroxytoluene can also cause irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes.
