Does applying Vicks break the fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. One of her questions, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is: Does Vicks cream break the fast if a person applies it to his skin while fasting?

Answer:
It does not break the fast. All Vicks and other ointments used on the skin do not break the fast of the one who is fasting, and there is no harm in using them. Yes.
