The package insert mentions some severe allergic reactions, and I want to know if anyone has experienced these. Also, I'm curious about the effectiveness of this ointment. Has anyone found it helpful in preventing minor skin infections? I want to ensure I'm using the right product for my needs. Are there any alternatives that people have found more effective or gentler? I appreciate any insights or personal experiences.

I've recently been prescribed a silver nitrate applicator to treat some minor skin growths. I've used it a couple of times, and it seems to work, but I'm curious about other people's experiences. How long did it take for your skin to heal after use? I've noticed some irritation at the site, and I'm a bit worried. Also, any tips on preventing those major and minor side effects would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for any insights!
