Hi
Thanks for your query.
The fluid that is oozing out from the site of burn is simply serum which is a part of blood.
Oozing out of serum from the site of burn is a normal skin reaction about which you need not be worried about.
As far is you do not see extrusion of any pus or yellowish discharge from the affected site, you need not be worried.
Hope it helps
