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.
Can Silvadene Be Applied On A Daily Basis For Skin Irritation?
Hi, I was using silvadene to heal a wound and decided to put some cream above my upper lip as the area felt irritated. Within a couple of days most of my lines in that area disappeared. Really, it was like a miracle cosmetic cream (I am 70). Is there a danger to daily use of this product.
The silvadene can be used till the healing process has reached to certain level. Over use of the same is associated with receptor down regulation, atrophy of the skin cells and other issues which are unwanted.
Kindly discuss the same with your treating physician and go ahead to use it for desired period of time being only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
