Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The pain is due to damage to superficial layer of skin and nerves.
You can take amitryptiline or sertraline or duloxetine or gabapentin or pregabalin.
Local pain reliever ointment like gabapentin can be used too.
