Hi, i have an allergic skin inflammation(i burnt my thigh with hot water around 4months ago, it healed 2months+ ago, becomming discolored brown, so i used a scar cream recommended by gp for around 2 months)

So 1month and a week ago, small blisters(no pus) started showing up and i thought it was just folliculitis since it was around the hairs, until the blisters started merging together, and forming one hard itchy area, and spreaded out to the parts i hsve applied that cream on, so now fast forward 1 month and 1 week later, the bumps are gone except for some mini bumps in the middle that are still quite red, the area feels normal now but it is still slightly red and brownish(im worried discoloration will be permanent due to this trauma) it looks very bad, and is a huge patch so im just wearing 3/4 pants now.

Im a 19 year old girl and im worried how people may see me, especially if i want to wear shorts again.. and i just see no light at the end of the tunnel. I have stopped using any product on that area, changed to cetaphil soap free body wash. Nothing helps :'(..

    Hi, it must be frustrating. I suggest you go back to see your gp. Good luck
