Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Seems that you may be developing hypertrophic / keloid scars which are red, raised and sometimes itchy. This type of scaring is very common after a burn and can cause serious disfigurement and restrictions for mobility. Regarding the white spots appearing in that area, they are due to post-inflammatory depigmentation.
Regarding the possible formation of hypertrophic scars, I would suggest that you seek an appointment with a plastic surgeon who would order a custom sized Silicone gel sheet dressing and if the scars have already formed they can be helped by Intralesional injection of Triamcinolone acetonide.
For the white spots, which are post-inflammatory, you could benefit from using a moderately potent topical steroid e,g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily.
