A member asked:
I read this article on silvain cream that you can make from home can you use this cream on a donor site from a skin graft?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you mean silvaden: Silvadene cream-silver sulfadiazine- is sometimes used on burns. Not the best for donor site, but you should follow the instructions of your surgeon. Main object is to keep lubricated, usually with Aquaphor or vaseline.
