A member asked:
I recently sustained 2nd degree burns and was wondering best treatment in reducing scars. i've been using silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) but what about aloe gel vs plant?

Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine): I suggest you stick with the silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) and see what's left of the burn sites before you apply anything else. I'm always impressed by how well silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) works to prevent infection and reduce scarring. If you're still uncertain have a medical practitioner take a look.
