The phrase "application of the ointment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to medical or skincare instructions, specifically when discussing how to use an ointment.
Example: "The doctor advised the patient on the proper application of the ointment to ensure effective healing."
Alternatives: "use of the ointment" or "administration of the ointment".
The same research group has reported that the topical application of the ointment of AuNPs (3 to 5 nm in size) with epigallocatechin gallate and α-lipoic acid effectively promoted wound healing in diabetic mice [10].
After application of the ointment for seven days, the animals were killed, and the skins excised and immediately fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4°C overnight.
After 24 h of application of the ointment, the site did not show any sign of inflammation (Fig. 3).
Five minutes after the first application of the ointment to the right external auditory canal, no changes in endoscopic swallowing scores were noticed on day 1.
However, there are people who are allergic to antibiotic ointments so when you notice redness, swelling and itchiness to the area immediately stop the application of the ointment.
After repeated applications of the ointment to each external auditory canal alternatively once a day for 7 days, the endoscopic swallowing score decreased significantly in patients with more severe non-obstructive dysphagia.
Seven of the eight patients' (88%) allergic symptoms improved once application of the NPD ointment was discontinued.
No adverse effects including otalgia, otitis externa, myringitis, temporomandibular joint dysfunction and facial palsy were induced in any experiment, but the application of the capsaicin ointment evoked a warm sensation in the external auditory canal in almost all patients.
A single application of the capsaicin ointment to the right external auditory canal also significantly decreased the score to 5.2±0.8 at 5 minutes, and the effects lasted for about 60 minutes (Friedman test: P=0.003; with Shirley Williams post hoc test: P=0.05; Figure 2).
In view of close similarities between rodents and human biology, and the relative safety of the resin in mice coupled with the mere absence of irritation upon topical application of the formulated ointments on the skin, scented myrrh could be a good candidate for the preparation of natural therapeutic agents for wound management, supporting the its traditional use as a remedy for wounds.
Also, in patients in Experiment 3, swallowing was evaluated 7 days after repeated daily applications of the same ointment to each external auditory canal alternatively.
