Is Greenish Yellow Itchy Wound Post Using Silvadine Cream For Burn On Finger Normal?
Hello, my boyfriend has a second degree burn on his finger from a cigarette. He went to urgen care and they gave him silvadine(?) cream. He uses it a couple times a day and keeps it bandaged up during the day and let s it air at night. I ve noticed it s turning a greenish yellow color. Is this something we need to worry about? He also says it itches like crazy. Thanks
It doesn't hurt and hasn't discharge so I don't think it is infected. Itching may be a symptom of regeneration and formation of fibrotic tissue and it is normal.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
