burns, external
"I received a deep steam burn on my hand when removing something from the microwave.  I tried dipping it in ice water, and as long as it was in there it felt better, but every time I removed it the pain and throbbing returned quickly.  I decided to go to the emergency room.  They put some silver sulfadiazine on it, dressed it, and gave me the rest of the small jar to take home, along with instructions for dressing the burn for the next few days.  In about 15 minutes the pain was gone AND IT NEVER CAME BACK!  I still keep some on hand - just in case. I think the cream is indicated for infection, not pain, but for me and everyone who I've recommended it to, it works GREAT on the pain of a burn."
