Question
Is it permitted to apply a bandage with ointment on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom u-vracha.
In a case where it is permitted to use ointment on Shabbat and there is no issue of the prohibition of medication on Shabbat [for example, due to concern of infection, or an eye inflammation, etc.], it is permitted to apply ointment and place a bandage over it, provided that one does not smooth out the surface of the ointment on Shabbat.
