Why do blue star ointment burns like crazy?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

If skin is really: dry & cracked - it's normal ability to defend/ protect underlying tissue is diminished. As a skin product breaks through that barrier, more sensitive tissues below can react to them.
