Hi xxxxxxxxx

Thanks for the query

Usually there are set patterns and protocols for using the SWD machine which applies specifically to each body part.

It is possible that you may have sustained a burn.

Apply ice pack 3 times a day. Apply Silver Sulfadiazine cream thrice a day for 3 to 4 days. Avoid using the machine till then.

Do consult a trained Physiotherapist regarding the proper use of the machine especially since your skin may be over sensitive to its use.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Dr. Aashish Raghu
