Hi..thanks for sharing your problem here in this forum...
Sometime if the burn is deep enough the skin will peeld off...new superficial skin layer will regerate...you have to take care of this new skin layer by applying sunblock not to allow it to tan..for now you wash your burnt area apply antibiotic +steroid cream...if pain then use painkiller and antiallergic..hope it will be fine soon...thanks
