" Ouch! Sounds like you really hurt yourself. The skin will heal very very slowly and painfully. Keep up with the antibiotic, watch for infection signs - pus, foul smell, etc. Be careful you don't reburn the area on accident with too warm water. I hope you feel better soon. Itching is actually a sign of healing, don't tear off your new skin. triple antibiotic lotion, antibacterial soap and over the counter anti-itch allergy medicine can be your best friend. Take care of yourself
Hugs "
