Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: Based on your description of the symptoms during attendance, it may be caused by a keloid or a mild infection at the burn site. According to your symptoms, it is recommended to use povidone-iodine for local disinfection of the affected area. Additionally, you can apply burn cream or erythromycin ointment for symptomatic treatment, and pay attention to local hygiene to avoid getting the area wet.
