best cream for burn - #18322

Arnav

I am really worried about my sister, she had an accident while cooking last week and burned her arm pretty bad. The doctor gave her some ointment but we’re wondering what is the best cream for burn healing? Like, she’s been really uncomfortable with it, and it’s swollen, kinda red too. The doctor said it’s a second-degree burn and we’re trying to figure out if we should look for something else. It looks like it’s healing but, man, I just want her to feel better ASAP! I’ve seen a ton of recommendations online about what the best cream for burn care is, but it’s so overwhelming. Some say aloe vera is the best, while others rave about silver sulfadiazine. What do you docs think? Is there an actual best cream for burn treatment or is it just about personal preference? And can she use it over the ointment the doctor prescribed or should we wait till she finishes that? Like, we really want to avoid any additional complications! Any advice would be super appreciated because she’s getting a little anxious about her arm and how it looks. Thanks!!!
