Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Redness around burn wound is mainly due to inflammation.
This can be controlled by using topical steroids.
Apply mometasone cream, you will get good relief.
Also take an anti inflammatory tablet like combiflam.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
