Comment:
Doctor prescribed this for a severe (second and third degree) sunburn, and I was AMAZED at how well it worked! I walked into the office barely being able to move my arms, and within an hour of my first application I was able to lift my arms almost parallel to the floor-within 3 days I had full range of motion back, and within a week the pain was completely gone.

A doctor prescribed this for my daughter even though she is allergic to sulfa. Her burn is worse and she is having an allergic reaction on top of everything. I am very upset with her doctor. She is an adult so I didn't know what she had put on her burn since she has her own house. Doctors should be more careful.

Although this medication is effective and is working on my burns caused by an airbag explosion to my arm, I do have a heart condition and have had a reaction to some of the ingredients when mixed with my beta-blocker. Be careful if you have a heart condition while taking a beta-blocker and this cream b/c of the mixture of alcohol. Beta-blockers and alcohol shouldn't be mixed. It caused me to h
