Hi,
Thrombophob is commonly used to treat superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation or swelling of a vein due to a blood clot). Based on the history you seem to have developed allergic reactions apparently caused by this ointment. I advise you to stop using it and ask your doctor for an alternate effective but a safer oinetment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
