Popular examples: Bepanthen ointment for irritations and Blastoestimulina by El Mundo, which promotes healing.
3. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic
Contains diclofenac or natural ingredients such as arnica or menthol.
When to use: For muscle pain, sprains, or arthritis.
Examples: Voltadol Forte (diclofenac) for joints or Traumeel for bruises.
4. For abrasions (barrier)
Rich in zinc oxide and lanolin.
When to use: Preventing and treating diaper rash and irritation caused by friction.

5. Corticosteroids (hydrocortisone)
When to use: Only to relieve intense itching and inflammation caused by allergies or eczema.
Caution: Do not apply to open wounds, as corticosteroids delay natural healing.
Tip: Always apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin. If the wound is oozing heavily, it’s better to use a gel or cream, as ointment retains moisture and can worsen maceration.
