Self-deployment of ointments may cause serious side effects, allergic reactions, and even worsen the condition. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to consult a professional doctor or pharmacist before trying any homemade drugs. ### 1. **Basic ingredients** -**Base**: This is the basis of the ointment, which determines the texture and absorbency of the ointment.

Too high or too low may affect the efficacy or cause side effects. -**Sterile operation**: During the deployment process, ensure that all tools and containers are disinfected to avoid contamination. -**Allergy test**: Before using the new ointment, test on a small area of skin to see if there is an allergic reaction. -**Storage conditions**: The ointment should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. ### 5. **Law and Ethics** -**Legal restrictions**: In some countries or regions, self-deployment of drugs may be subject to legal restrictions, especially ointments containing prescription drug ingredients. - **Ethical responsibility**: If the ointment is used for others, it must ensure its safety and effectiveness and inform of possible side effects. ### 6. **Alternative** -**Over-the-counter medicines**: There are many over-the-counter ointments for different skin diseases on the market, which are usually rigorously tested and certified for higher safety. -**Natural therapies**: Certain natural ingredients, such as aloe vera, tea tree oil or oats, may be helpful for minor skin problems, but the effect varies from person to person. ### Conclusion Although the deployment of soil-made ointments may seem simple, it involves complex medical knowledge and potential risks.
