Can i use silver sulfadiazine for ezcema and could it worsen my ezcema if im having a flare up?

It is best not to use sulfadiazine especially if you may have sulfa allergy. It is best to be evaluated by an expert in atopic dermatitis; and there are now new medications that are supposed to be immune modulators to help in addition to moisture therapy.

Silver sulfadiazine is not likely to help with diagnosed eczema and it I might worsen it. Talk to your diagnosing doc about good options in addressing your eczema.
