Green tea ointment, is that a real treatment?

Saw it mentioned and assumed it was a supplement scam. Then I saw it on a clinic list.

NoteMember experience, not medical advice. Symptoms overlap between infections and only a test can tell them apart.

It is a real licensed treatment in a number of countries, made from green tea extract, and it is not the same thing as drinking tea or buying a supplement.

Reported clearance rates are broadly comparable to the other topical options and recurrence afterwards has looked lower in some studies, which is why it appears on clinic lists.
