Can Silver Sulfadiazine Be Applied Under The Breasts?
Hi, I just started using Silver Sulfadiazine Cream for a radiation treatment burn. Even though pharmacy says to use it twice a day. Can I apply to wound under breast more than twice if I continue to wash maybe every 4 hours? I was told not to come back for treatment approximately a week. I would like to heal this wound fast. I only had 4 more days and now this. Thank you for a response.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to use it as prescribed. If you are washing it off every four hours then it may not be given enough time to work.
By putting it one in the morning, leaving it till evening, you would be increasing the time of contact with the affected area.
I hope this helps
