I had a 2nd degree burn on my thigh about 5 weeks ago which blistered.  The blister burst after a couple of days due to pressure on my thigh while sleeping, and later a scab formed over the burnt area. I had applied antisceptic cream to the area and put a gauze over it to prevent infection.The site of the burn still has a scab that hasnt yet come off but what worries me more is that there is still redness around the burn area that has not gone away and its been over a month now.  I have been applying aloe vera gel for the last week.  The burn area (including the area of redness) is not larger than a 50 pence coin and is not painful. Do I need to be worried? When will the redness go away?
Hello, Welcome yo Chat Doctor. It is better to take a course of oral antibiotics' ad, from your description, it seems to me that there is N underlying infection. Please consult your GP who can assess the lesion and also take a pus swab for culture test if required. Hope this helps you. Take care.
