Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.

Dermadew cream is a moisturizing cream.

I would rather suggest you to use a topical antibiotic e.g Silverex cream (contains silver sulphadiazine), twice daily for a burn.

Brief Answer:
Silverex cream ,yes it works

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

The aim of treatment in a burn is to prevent secondary bacterial infection till the raw area gets covered with new skin, therefore I have asked you to use (silver sulphadiazine) silverex cream.

A burn would heal (form new skin) in about a week or so. Till then you should apply a topical antibiotic (silverex cream) in order to prevent it from getting infected. This cream is available OTC.
