@SharpShooter do you know where in the UK you can get silver sulfadiazine cream 1% for the OP who also lives in the UK?
I just found this article... Looks like it is only available in the UK by prescription. so you will need a vet now https://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/skin-hair/a6737/flamazine-cream-silver-sulfadiazine/

Huh - could have sworn I can pick up 1% silver sulphadiazine at the pharmacy! I guess I'll have to look closer. Maybe it's different province to province?

Oh maybe. I was looking in Ontario so may be different other places.

Unforntunately i live all the way down in cornwall. I can take him to the vets when i next get paid but thats not for about 2 weeks:/ just being honest, i brought him more for the fact i felt sorry for him and he would probably be dead by now if i didnt , ive noticed the gap on his dorsal crest wheee the spikes are missing is getting bigger too but now hes got a lower wattage basking bulb and ive moved his perch lower i can only hope hes alright till pay day.

It can help, yes, and is a pretty powerful antiseptic often used in surgical prep and wound flushing. At the clinic I work at we dilute the iodine to 1% (usually with saline, but water is fine) for general use. The form you'll want to look for is Povidone-iodine (or iodopovidone), which is 10% iodine. Ideally, you would apply (diluted) iodine, allow it to soak in/dry, followed by silver sulphadiazine.
