Relieve Itchy Skin
VapoRub also works well on itchy skin, especially from plant-based irritation like poison ivy. Apply some of it to the affected area and reduce the itch sensation and redness because of the menthol and camphor. Make sure to bring a tub on camping trips, too!
Remove Splinters
Sometimes, you get a splinter in your foot or hand. Most people use tweezers to remove them, but they could be painful or otherwise hard to get out. VapoRub comes to the rescue! Apply a little to the area, and the moisture it creates draws it out for you.
