oomis – “Not a placebo effect, Health. I have over my six decades burned my hand on many a stupid occasion, and other so-called burn ointments did zip (and certain types of ointments can make the burn worse). Stuff like Solarcaine, etc. never really helped except for a minute or so. Silvadene was the only effective treatment we have ever used, and it TOTALLY stopped the pain.”
Sorry, a least Solarcaine has an anesthetic in it, while Silvadene does’t! I posted this above -“Use Bacitracin, it’s OTC and it’s cheaper than Silvadene.”
