Hi.
As per your case history of facial burn, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid using soap and don't apply any antiseptic lotion like Dettol on affected skin.
2. Clean the skin with plain water and apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. You can take oral antibiotics like levofloxacin and NSAID after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
