I am in Toronto. The cream is Flamazine by Smith and Nephew. It is manufactured in Spain. Usually used for burns. Topical antibacterial with silver s ulfadiiazine 1%. Only barrier is that it is in a tube and eventually needs to be cut open to get the cream.

Thanks for reply. Didn't know Flamazine was still available I remember it from childhood as a remedy for burns - will investigate!

Do you have Raynaud's disease? If so, do you get medication to improve your blood supply?
