For How Long Should Silverex Be Applied After A Burn Injury?
I have a burn on my hand due to steam since last 3 days. it measures around an inch in diameter. I have been using Silverex ( silver nitrate gel 0.2% w/w). Pl suggest how many days should i be applying and will it leave a mark. Also can i let water on it while bathing especially to clean the silverex gel that sticks to the wound?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, small burn would needs at least week for complete healing and Silver nitrate can be applied up to week but some time with this cream chances of infection may be there and care need to be taken for this, else this is nothing to worry in small and superficial wound take care
