I would not recommend a specific ointment.
Hello. Best in my experience are bio freeze or Voltoren gel. Make sure shoes not too narrow or high. Good luck.
Unfortunately, there are no ointments which will cure a bunion. For pain, you could try Voltaren cream. You also should wear wide shoes to decrease the pressure.
There are many topicals available without any prescription which would be helpful. You may want to try Voltaren gel, Biofreeze, Salonpas, capsaicin
Arnica gel (Arnicare) is an over-the-counter clear gel that is the best topical, and you don’t need a script; every drug store carries it and there’s no staining clothes and no smell. Best of all, if you rub it in for 60 sec., it works better than any ointment for pain relief.
