Hi , I burned my forearm 3 weeks ago and by the end of the healing process I started having bumps itchy small pimples all around. I have been on antibiotics for 4 days without any major changes.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy pimples around a burn wound . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the pimples are either due to secondary infection , allergic reaction or inflammatory response of skin .

Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin along with anti inflammatory ointment containing silver sulfadiazine or anti allergic .
