"Heated up a wok of oil for a quick stir fry on a new induction hob. Realised the oil was smoking after only a min so went to pick it up off the heat and as soon as i touched it it burst into flame. I dropped the pan and got boiling oil over the back of one finger. Ran it under cold water for half an hour but the skin was grey and waxy and a massive blister started to form. Long story short, dressed it each day with a load of this on and it healed perfectly in under a week. They thought I might be looking at a skin graft at first, or at least a very nasty scar and a long healing process, but this did an awesome job!"

"I'm a diabetic, this cream has been wonderful for healing wounds on my feet, which in turn have helped me to keep my toes. I noticed the healing power of the cream daily. Thank you for making this product. Is there an over the counter product with a stronger % of the silver sulfadiazine? "

"Years ago I used this on a burn and it healed within a week. Now I have a ruptured boil (skin infection) that has left a 2"x2" area without skin. The area was still weeping and infected after 10 days of 2 antibiotics so I asked my doctor for Silvadene because of my previous experience. It's been 10 days since I began using Silvadene and ALL infection is now gone, just as I knew it would be. The wound is a little bit smaller than it was and I'll continue to use Silvadene until new skin has grown over and closed the wound."

"It is wonderful! I burned my left hand and my stomach with boiling water and it was really painful but applying Silver Sulfadiazine cream on the burned areas subsided the pain and healed it quickly. I had been prescribed to apply the cream twice a day"

Silvadene Cream 1% (silver sulfadiazine) "Had first, second, and third-degree burns down the entirety of my back and after six days of applying SSD 1% the skin already began to replenish itself. It's now been 2.5 weeks and my back is essentially fully healed with slight discolouration. Miracle cream."

"My husband is Military and one of the Corpsman had some of this Silvadene cream available and gave it to him since I am going through a tattoo removal process. This has shortened my healing time exponentially! Not to mention the fact that it has taken the heat out of the burn as well as calmed the skin enough for the blisters to be re absorbed into the healing surrounding tissue. I only wish it were available OTC because I'm almost out!"

"I was just coming from the hospital from being seen for a severe viral infection in my chest that had been going around. My throat was hurting so my mom pulled into a drive thru n got me a hot tea. Only they didn't put the tea bag in the cup of hot water. My mom pulled over and as I'm trying to get the tea bag out the cup spills on my lap. 2nd degree burns on my thigh. My mom urged me to go back to the hospital because it blistered up so fast but I refused. I just wanted to treat it with antibiotic ointment n cover it with gauze so I could pull my pants back up. The next day after work I noticed it looking worse so I went to urgent care and they prescribed me this miracle cream :-) just one day and its healing sooo fast!"

"Got second degree burns on all toes and half way up foot was raw blood red skin laying across his toes, was awful. Long story short after hrs sitting at the ER screaming because they suck they put this cream on my foot wrapped it sent us to columbus. It healed quick no scar at all but it didn't relieve the burn much unless covered with gauze and pads. But it did heal nice. Horrific ordeal though with the foot. I have come to find out mustard works on taking the burn out much better and faster. This cream is great for healing 9 stars cause it didn't take the burn pain out"

Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) "I was treated with Silvadene after experiencing a 12.5% burn. After a month of inpatient treatment, I could return home—hardly any scarring or changes to skin texture. Silvadene also significantly reduced the pain."

"I just was prescribed this for my 2nd degree burns incurred in a bad ATV crash. The minute I applied it, it instantly cooled the area. No more vaseline or Neosporin: this stuff feels amazing. Have yet to see how it heals but based on the reviews, I'm sure it will work like a charm."

"I work where I burn myself all the time. One day, I burned 4 fingers on my left hand. Blisters were already forming. When I got home, I cleaned my fingers than put this cream on and put bandages on my fingers. Seven hours later, I took the bandages off. No blisters. Absolute miracle"

"I was given this Silver Sulfadiazine 1% Cream for Necrosis on my Left Breast after Mastectomy. I was freaking out as my skin was dying after surgery due to lack of blood supply and it was actually a big hole you could put your finger in. The breast surgeon and plastic surgeon both asked me to put it in the hole and in as little as a week, the entire hole in the middle was gone, and my skin looked perfect as if it was never there. Not even a trace of the actual hole. Completely smooth. What a miracle cream this is. Closed up perfectly!"

"While acid washing a pool, I burned a nickel sized indentation on my left hand. Went to the E.R. and was given this med. I applied it liberally, put on a loose bandage, and immediately felt relief from the pain. Within days the healing had started. Based on the depth of the injury, I assumed there would be a scar.....There was not! Various sources mention to keep the would covered and stay OUT of the sun to prevent skin discoloration. Descriptions of silver sulfadiazine mention that it kills germs and protects the wound from infection. My experience says it does a lot of actual "HEALING". P.S.: This is available in Mexico without a script (And is very cheap)."

"Found out about this stuff when my son had a severe muffler burn on his upper thigh area from a motorcycle accident. Amazing stuff, no scar. We used the rest and it was the go-to. Ran out of it and purchased some in Mexico. Well, I burnt my inner wrist pretty bad from boiling rice with water. Put this on and within a few minutes, it helped with the pain and healed like it never happened. Amazing stuff!"

"After driving my truck for several hundred miles, I stopped at a roadside park to check a problem. When I had both hands and arms deep in the engine compartment a sensor came out and blew super heated water all over both hands. We got ice from some people there and I already had large blisters forming. We rushed to a hospital and the doctor spread silvadene on them and wrapped them. I was almost in shock and my wife drove home. The next day the burns were almost gone. I couldn’t believe it but my hands were fine in a few days. I’ve used it since then for multiple injuries and they heal incredibly fast. I have some I’ve saved and it’s years out of date but still heals just as fast. It’s wonderful."
