Hello,
Thanks for using HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your querry.
I can understand your concern.
Please use plain silver sulfadiazine cream, not mixed with either alcohol or chlorhexidine.
Plain silver sulfadiazine does not cause burning.
If she is allergic to it, you may sue soframycin cream.
Hope this helps you.
Good luck.
