"Amazing! I used this as a little girl for a muffler burn (2nd and 3rd degree). It healed without even leaving a scar. I am using it now for burns suffered from falling into an outdoor propane heater; 2nd-degree burns on my back and forearm. I am praying for the same amazing results! This medication is a Godsend."

"I cut off the meaty part of the palm of my hand, and when I went to the doctor, I didn't think to bring that part with me. It would not stop bleeding, and it had to be treated like it was a bad burn since there was no skin to cover the wound up. The doctor had me put silver sulfadiazine on my hand, and it worked like a miracle. I must admit that my husband is a welder, and when he gets a welding burn, we use this cream for those, and it works fantastic!!"

"1983 sub-zero air temps, transmission fluid blew into my husband's eyes/face. Burns all over his face. Silvadene cream applied, and you honestly could not tell within 48 hours that he's had burns! We've used it over the last 29 years as sparingly as possible when needed on various cooking burns."

"I had necrotizing fasciitis before it was even being diagnosed, late 1990-early 1991. After two weeks of fighting it at home (yes, I know, but nurses are incredibly resistant to being hospitalized), I finally went to the ER. They admitted me, of course, and threw every antibiotic they had at it without any improvement. From the first day, they insisted I had burned the leg, and I insisted that I had NOT burned it. After two weeks of multiple IV antibiotics with little, if any, response, one of the docs walked into the room and said that even though I insisted I had not burned it, he was going to treat it like a burn and that he was ordering Silvadene. Four days later, my leg had improved enough to go home."

"I had a small tattoo above my ankle that I had about 5 laser treatments to remove, the process bursts the ink's color molecules. Those will, during your lifetime, disperse throughout one's cells, trying to be absorbed, among other things. The process left me with an 'id' reaction, and I've developed skin allergies to certain topical ointments such as 'Neosporin' or Bactroban. I use Silvadene now in place of any antibacterial ointments for all cuts, abrasions, wounds, and it works perfectly."

"My brother gave these creams out like they were party favors, lol. He sung its praises so that I had to grab one to put in my emergency kit. In the midst of cooking, like a fool, I accidentally put my thumb and forefinger on the burner. I don't do well with burns, it's my one vice that seems to engulf me for 12 hours of brutal pain, whereby I must keep my fingers in a mug of iced water, changing it every few minutes, even falling asleep in that condition. I iced my fingers for 20 minutes, remembered this cream, whacked it on, and the pain immediately disappeared! All I can say is wow. I didn't know it had numbing ingredients, but it stopped that burning pain in a jiffy. A must!"

"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."
