But as for what I do, I put mine inside and its done me no harm. If you are in spasm you will feel a contracted "ring" around an inch inside - just apply around 1cm of ointment to the tip of a cling film wrapped finger and rub it gently against this.
Make sure you have wrapped your finger in cling film as ointment on your finger is how most people get headaches.
In the UK we are instructed to use 2.5cm of ointment every 12 hours. I can't get that much on my finger tip in one go so I make two applications. If you don't have instructions then I would just try a small amount first and wait 10 minutes - when I first used it I could tell quite quickly.
Honestly, it doesn't say how or where to apply, it simply tells you how much to use. That and the million side effects it can impose. Thanks
