Ointment on Shabbat to Prevent Infection
Question
Is it permissible and how can one apply Silverol ointment to a blister to prevent infection and its spread?

It is permissible to use ointment on Shabbat in a situation where there is a concern of infection.
The ointment should be applied using a stick or directly from the tube, ensuring it is placed on the intended area, and not spread evenly.
