Will silver sulfadiazine help chaffing in my groin area?

Prescription med: If it was prescribed for you and it is left over,then yes it may help. If not prescribed for you, don't take it. Any prescription drug can be recommended/prescribed only after knowing your whole medical history, and we don't know that. Call your doc or try Healthtap Prime.

Not generally given: for that condition. Silver ointments are a bit of a harsh way to suppress bacterial growth. Useful in burns or situations in which the skin is gone to give some protection during initial healing. Not relevant as a preventative of loss of skin.

If infectious: If more a groin dermatitis than a steroid cream would help most likely, if chaffing is due to a fungal infection, than an anti-fungal cream would be needed.
