Joel,

I too used Silvadene. It is gross, yukey cream. I hated using it
BUT.......
My neck was very burned, 40TX. It use to bleed and ozze(SP) at night. The stuff really worked, 3 weeks post tx my neck was 100% healed! now it is as soft as a baby's ass!

pain to use but worth it ( in retrospect)

Steve

70 male, athlete...again
SSC of undetermined orgin , early july 09

finished TX in mid Sept 09
Clear at the 6 year mark!
Back to swimming, biking and running! just a tad slower
never regained my weight, even when I eat lots and lots, just a skinny guy now

Just way glad to be seeing the green side up!
