Hello,
I think the white tissue you have underneath the burned blisters is probably the fibrotic tissue of the healing process.
If it is not red, swollen and secreting fluid then it is not infected. I think you don't have to worry about it. Putting antibiotic ointment is advisable to keep it clean from infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
