Hi.
As per your case history you have developed psoriasis lesion on burnt skin.
It is called as koebner phenomenon.
My treatment advice is-
1. Don't scratch the lesion and avoid trauma.
2. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream twice daily.
3. Apply a potent steroid plus salicylic acid cream like Clovate-Sl twice daily on affected skin.
4. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
