Is Tiger balm unsafe in any way?

Question

I just used it on a sensitive patch of skin a few days ago and I'm really sore. No burning, just sore.

Answer 1

It depends what you are using it for and what condition the area of skin is in, if it is used on broken skin it will hurt like crazy! you could also be allergic to one of it's components, I use it if I have muscle strain and have no problems, it's a bit warm at first. You should not use it internally!

Answer 2

Some people may have an allergic skin reaction to the balm which can cause burning and blistering. If you have very sensitive skin test it first on a small area or do not use. Everyone should be careful not to get it into your eyes or mucous membranes!!!!!I
