BTW Silvadene is a brand name of silver sulfadiazine, often abbreviated as SSD. The generic should be cheaper. Don't use if allergic to sulfa.
I don't know the current status re OTC vs Rx.
Jeebus that’s nasty. MD for sure. Or an urgent care.Quote:

Old goat. True on gnarly shit staying moist.
I was referring to normal wounds and scabbing.
Hudge and nasty burns need love and moisture and more than interwebs med advice. Dayuum
My rule of thumb on minor wounds is to cover it until it is no longer making a mess. When I cut myself it's usually in the kitchen or the wood shop--most people don't like blood in their food or their furniture.
This cannot be emphasized enough.Quote:

Thanks - he's in Colorado Springs. He ended up going to the ER last night, and they put him on two different antibiotics, but no antiinflammatory or pain meds. Hoping he can make it til Wednesday when his insurance kicks in.Quote:

I think the issue is, he doesn’t have insurance until Dec 1. Might be able to wait the couple days until then, but hopefully it doesn’t start smelling like Gus’s leg in Lonesome Dove.
Edit: I see he’s already gone in. Carry on!
yeah he went into the ER, but i'm not sure of the quality of care he got. they told him to let the wound dry out (?????)Quote:

You're kidding. Continue the neosporin and wrapping until he can get a Rx for silvadene. (I say this as a doc who as a surgery resident ran a burn unit.)Quote:
