Kendall Thermazene, like the more well-known Silvadene are brand names for Silver Sulfadiazine, or SSD -- an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal cream intended for use on 2nd and 3rd degree burns, and is effective on abrasions. The med requires a sterile process, as burns populate with bacteria so easily. This means you need to apply it with sterile gloves -- not just normal latex. Once applied, leave the cream in place until the burn heals or the skin graft is ready. Liver disease, kidney disease and sulfa allergies counterindicate this med.

My doctor gave my toddler silver sulfadiazine for a diaper rash and it is the only thing that works when she gets diarrhea and a bad diaper rash. There have been no ill effects.
I am a certified veterinary technician working in a small animal practice and we use silver sulfadiazine cream all of the time. We normally use it on the dogs paw pads when they sustain and injury to them. As always first see your veterinarian if it is not a minor injury!
The only other use for Thermazene cream is to treat skin ulcers. It is mostly used to treat burns on the outer areas of the skin.
