I repeat; there is NO justification for using silver sulphadiazine on a fresh burn. To that extent Charles is absolutely right. Equally, the
same applies to Bactrim - which has quite a high incidence of allergic reactions. On a simple facial burn I use paraffin jelly or oil which I
get the patient to smear on whenever the skin feels tight.
