Question

I've got a skin burn from a bike silencer that happened about a month ago, and it's still not healing. I've seen a doctor and completed an antibiotics course, but the situation hasn't improved. Now, for the past 23 days, I've noticed small bumps around the burn with liquid inside them. The liquid keeps leaking out, and there's a lot of itching. What do you think is going on, and what can I do to help it heal?

It sounds like you may have developed an infection in the burn wound. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent further infection. Additionally, you can take an oral antibiotic like Augmentin to treat the infection from within. For the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Levocet.
