Ring Finger(薬指)

I don't like summer since mosquitoes bite me.
When I was bitten, I apply the itch stop ointment as soon as possible.
I say an abrupt thing, but which finger do you use when you apply an ointment?
I make it a rule to use the ring finger to apply it.
Because it is said that the ring finger is thought to apply medicine in Japan.
The ring finger is 薬指 in Japanese.
I think you can understand if you watch the kanji form.
I mean 薬 is the medicine, and 指 is the finger.
But, I'm not sure whether all Japanese do it like me or not.:)
Thank you!

I don't like summer because mosquitoes bite me.
When I am bitten, I apply anti-itch ointment as soon as possible.
This is a bit off topic, but which finger do you use when you apply an ointment?
I always use my ring finger to apply it.
This is because in Japan, it is thought that the ring finger should be used to apply medicine.
I think you can understand if you look at the kanji form.
I mean 薬 is the medicine, and 指 is the finger.
I think maybe I'll use 人差し指（＾－＾）
