It may go but will take a few months

Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached picture.
Definitely it looks like a big burn.
Even if there is no loss of skin healing will take time.
You can continue silverex. No problem.
However if any discharge or fluid oozes or if she develops fever consult your doctor again.
It may take a few months before the scar heals.
Wishing your child good health and speedy recovery.
Regards

I saw the fluid coming today in the morning (8th may) and even consulted a doctor. He confirmed it is fine and nothing to worry about but I am still concerned if it is dangerous. There is no sign of fever.
