      The sentence seems to be incorrect or incomplete. The verb "nuriru" would mean to paint or to apply (like a cream or medicine) but it's not properly conjugated or used in the sentence. If you meant "塗り薬を塗る" it would translate to "apply the ointment." {closely (sticking, clinging, etc.), tightly}
