A member asked:

I've been using this cream on my face after shaving to help with skin irritation : cicanov+. it contains silver sulfadiazine. is it ok to use often?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bad idea: You have no reason to be using a silver based cream on trivial skin lesions. This is a burn-unit medicine. You may end up disfiguring yourself, though silver is more dangerous taken systemically. Cicanov also comes without the silver; if you like this stuff, get the silver-free preparation.
