Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
It's looking like an allergic reaction.
Burnt skin is prone to develop such reaction.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like cortisone to be applied twice daily for a week and antihistamine tablet to be taken in night.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
