I accidentally burned my thigh with hot water and started using Silverex ointment, but it's really itchy and painful. What can I do to heal it quickly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The itching and pain you are experiencing after applying Silverex ointment may be due to an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the silver sulfadiazine in the ointment. I recommend stopping the use of Silverex ointment and instead applying a gentle soothing cream like aloe vera gel or plain white petroleum jelly to help with the itching and pain. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the burn clean and covered with a sterile dressing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a bit unsure about something regarding my daughter's skincare routine. You mentioned on Saturday that she should use Dermadew cream or Fairlite in the morning. But she was also told to use Clindac gel for her pimples in the morning. Should she still keep using the gel, or is it just one of the creams now? How should we be using these together?
when ever she has active acne then she can use clindac gel during bedtime,rest of the days she can contine those creams,donot use both the crames at a time.

I've been using Flutivate ointment for the past month as my doctor recommended. I've noticed some changes in my skin, and I'm a bit concerned about whether this is normal or if I should be worried. Should I keep using it, or is there something else I need to watch out for while continuing with this treatment?

I've got this burn on my right hand from spilling hot water a while back. I've been using silverkind ointment as the doctor suggested, but now I'm seeing these red pigments pop up and there's this constant itching. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the silver sulfadiazine in the Silverkind ointment. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected area with mild soap and water. You can apply a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
