If you are in Nursing this question is for you.?


I burned my lips on a microwavable eggroll the other night and my lips are hurting still, I have been using Vasaline on them but it hasn't been working. If I use Siver Sulfadiazine Cream (1%) do you think that would help quicker?

I would be careful using that cream unless your burns are second degree with blisters.
If they are--I would see a doc first.

Try some aloe Vera chap stick to coat your lips and simply wait it out unless you begin to blister.

The answer is Yes , it's specific medicine for wounds caused by termical agents . It works best as a cream .
