No. This medication is primarily used on burns.
And you should ask your doctor these questions about medication.
You should use an anti-fungal on yeast infections. They are available over the counter and come in such brand names as monistat.
But the thing is that you need diagnosis. If you are treating an fungal rash with antibiotic creams it will get exponentially worse.
If you are treating a bacterial infection with antifungal THAT will get worse.

Monistat is pretty benign. If it does the job it will do it in days. Know that the first day it may actually look a bit redder as in "worse" but by day three and four it should be disappearing fast.

"No — silver sulfadiazine cream is not appropriate for a woman’s yeast infection.

Why Not?

Purpose: Silver sulfadiazine is an antibacterial and antifungal cream mainly used for preventing and treating wound infections, especially burns.

Not effective for yeast vaginitis:

While it has some antifungal properties, it is not formulated for vaginal use and is not effective for the type of Candida infections that cause most vaginal yeast infections.

Risk of irritation:

Using it inside the vagina or on sensitive genital skin can cause burning, irritation, and allergic reactions.

Better options available: Over-the-counter miconazole (Monistat) or clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin), or prescription fluconazole (Diflucan), are the recommended treatments.

Recommended Next Steps:

Confirm the diagnosis — other conditions (like bacterial vaginosis or dermatitis) can cause similar symptoms.
Use vaginal-specific antifungal medication in cream, suppository, or oral form.

See a healthcare provider if:

- This is your first suspected yeast infection
- You have recurrent symptoms
- OTC treatment hasn’t helped in 2–3 days"
