Looking at Wife for Medical Purposes

Question

Is it permitted to look at that area of the woman’s body in order to apply ointment, so that we can fulfill the mitzvah—since without it, it is extremely painful and not possible? 

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

It is permissible to look for the necessary purpose, but not beyond what is required.
