ointment
Cream for wounds
Ointment is a thick, greasy substance applied to the skin for healing or protection.
Ointments typically contain medication mixed with oil or petroleum bases, distinguishing them from lighter creams and lotions.
Apply the ointment twice daily.
A fly in the ointment is a small flaw that spoils something otherwise good.
