This is an all time Superstuffplus favorite.  Black Salve is commonly referred to as a "drawing" salve. Superstuffplus never intends to replace professional medical advice and cannot claim that all experiences will be the same, but we do have a couple of testimonials. Rick at Superstuffplus had an iron shaving in his finger that was becoming increasingly irritated and would not come out.  Before bed one night he put the ointment on the spot where the piece of iron was lodged and put a bandaid over it. In the morning he removed the bandaid and the shaving had slipped out.  Shari at Superstuff plus had brushed up against a rosebush one day and ended up with a very irritated spot on her shin. She figured it would go away in a few days, but it only grew increasingly red and irritated. Again, before bed one night she put the salve over the spot with a bandaid and in the morning when she removed the bandaid a small piece of thorn from the rosebush came with it!  Do some research and read up on this unique little salve.
