CS by itself cannot 
penetrate tissue.




If it's being used for something that is superficial such as a  hotspot, it 
doesn't have to penetrate tissue. It only needs to stop the  bacterial action 
that is causing the hotspot, which it does beautifully. My  understanding is 
that the anti bacterial/anti viral action of CS/EIS stops when  it dries on the 
surface, in that case it can be reapplied or kept moist by  bandaging.
