Does anyone know if silvadene cream is safe to use on eczema?
There are many references in medical literature regarding Silvadene cream being used in the treatment of eczema. The major use is when the eczema is advanced enough that sores are present and an anti-microbial in indicated to reduce the risk of infection. I would not use it unless there are open sores or an indication of infection as it may contribute to inflammation if the skin is sensitive to anything in Silvadene. The most common prescription treatments are anti-inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids. Reducing stress is known to cause spontaneous relief from symptoms in some cases, I observed this personally with a co-worker once. If a doctor has not been consulted already, it would be a good idea because several diseases of the derma appear similar but require different treatments and maintenance. The link I added is deep but seems thorough. Good luck!
