Heath, I’m not really sure what you’re protesting to much about. I looked at Silvadene cream at both WebMD and Drugs.com (where you had quoted as one of your main sources of info), and the third line on Drugs.com – way on top of the part you quoted – it says “Silver sulfadiazine topical (for the skin) is used to treat or prevent infections on areas of burned skin.” This cream was given to me by a doctor here in EY also and with all the testimony above, I think this issue should be put to rest. Sivadene cream is definitely used for treatment of burns.
On the other hand, after cooling the skin with a burn down with cold water as everyone mentioned, I use aloe vera gel. Spread some on. If it begins to hurt again later on, I spread more on. Usually two treatments is sufficiently and I’ve rarely seen a blister with this treatment.
