You are doing it all wrong. Here’s the right way to use vapo rub

Because it contains petroleum-based ingredients, VapoRub may soften dry heels when applied sparingly before bed and covered with cotton socks.

Again, avoid cracked or broken skin.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using Too Much

More is not better. A thin layer is enough.

Applying Inside the Nose

This can cause irritation and is not recommended.

Using on Infants

Always check age restrictions on the label.

Treating It as a Cure

VapoRub may support symptom comfort. It does not treat infections.
