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 feeling really uncomfortable with this redness and burning sensation around my anus. It's also kind of soft to touch. I'm not sure what's causing this, and it's making me really anxious. Could this be something serious? What can I do to alleviate it?
To help alleviate the redness, burning sensation, and softening of the skin around the anus, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, sitz baths with warm water several times a day can also provide relief. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using harsh soaps or wipes. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
