Hi
You seem to have developed a superficial skin burn .
It is important that you take proper care of the affected area.
Keep the affected area clean and dry.
Wash the affected area with lukewarm saline water twice daily.
Apply topical medicine over the lesion twice daily.
You might need to apply it as long as the burn does not heal .
You might need a course of oral antibiotics if the lesion still tends to persist or increase.
