Mebo Burn & Wound Ointment 40g
Mebo Burn & Wound Ointment is a specialized botanical treatment designed for the management of various skin injuries, including burns, wounds, and skin ulcers. It is based on the principle of Moist Exposed Burn Therapy (MEBT), which provides a physiological moist environment to support natural skin healing and tissue regeneration.
This yellow, sesame-scented ointment is widely used in Nigeria for everything from minor sunburns to more serious skin conditions. It works by protecting viable skin tissues while assisting in the removal of necrotic (dead) tissue.
