I'm a bit worried because I used tea tree oil on my skin before bed last night and now I've got these dark patches that haven't gone away for more than 12 hours. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this reaction?

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?

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.
