Hello. Thank you for writing us here.
the injuries you had affect the peripheral nerves due to which you get shooting pains.
It would take time for healing. you can put some ice on the affected area for getting some relief from pain and also you can have analgesics like paracetamol.
the best way to heal burns is by putting coconut oil on it as it would help the skin to regenerate and also decrease infections. also remember to keep the affected area open so it doesn't catch any infection but if you use a bandage, change it 3 to 4 times a day.
best regards
Dr Gunjan
