Yunnan Baiyao Powder is generally suitable for external application. As a topical medication composed primarily of traditional Chinese herbal ingredients, it typically does not irritate the skin and can be applied directly to wounds. It exerts anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-edema effects, thereby promoting wound healing. Prior to external application, the wound must be properly disinfected.
