Suggest Treatment Pain In Forearm And Thigh
I burned my left forearm and left thigh (2nd degree) and am treating it with Silvadene cream after removing old cream. But I see a light yellowish gooish growth fillingin over the previously raw areas. I am hearing 2 distinct different answers... - one is that it s new growth and leave it and another is that it should be removed to promote healing. A third is that it is infection. I m confused. I have been redressing it twice a day since Wed.

Hello,
It could be due to conditions like peripheral neuropathy. As of now, you can take drugs like gabapentin for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
