You're welcome. It's not prescribed to me by Dr., but everything from my Drs/Dermo was not working, I was going crazy. I was so happy for this one little way of doing it. Sleep... I did get sheets clovey, but I smelled like a winter pie! Lol

You put the liquid bandage on first, or at least that is how I did it. Then put some clove powder on the liquid. The person who talked about this, I found out later, that they put the applicator in to the clove powder and then put on the nodule. Mine got caked up when I did it that way. So the clove powder works on the nerves. I googled clove powder benefits, and this is some of the response:

Cloves have many potential health benefits, including:
Anti-inflammatory
Cloves contain eugenol and isoeugenol, which can help reduce inflammation and may help prevent chronic diseases.
Pain relief
Cloves have been used as a natural painkiller since the 13th century, and can help with toothaches, headaches, and migraines.
