Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a severe sunburn maybe 2nd degree not sure I ve been using solarcaine Aloe 3 times a day it doesn t seem to be helping. I heard Silvadene Burn cream is best is there something similar over the counter I can use what do you suggest to treat it
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Silvadene burn cream is used to treat the burn to prevent infections. So, it is recommended in your case. I suggest to use an over the counter antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream which can also help to prevent infections.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
