Which of the following is a topical anti-inflammatory?

  1. Lidocaine

  2. Diclofenac

  3. Silver sulfadiazine

The correct answer is: Diclofenac

Diclofenac is a topical anti-inflammatory drug, which means it is applied directly to the skin to reduce inflammation and pain. Lidocaine is a topical anesthetic, used to numb the skin and relieve pain. Silver sulfadiazine is a topical antibiotic, used to prevent or treat infections. While both lidocaine and silver sulfadiazine may have some anti-inflammatory effects, they are not specifically classified as topical anti-inflammatories. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
