Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Post burn contractures are common problem. It would have been of much help if you could just tell how much burn you sustained and what was the treatment after that. Anyways, for now I will suggest to report to your treating reconstruction surgeon for expert opinion and clinical evaluation as it could have been anything.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
