I accidentally burned my middle finger with hot oil about a week ago. I've been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice daily, using megaheal cream for the dressing, and taking diclo p tablets for the pain. But it still hurts when I'm changing the dressing. Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?

I've been dealing with a fixed drug eruption for the past four years and have been seeing a skin specialist for treatment. Initially, I was given various lotions, but I really didn't see any improvement. I got so frustrated that I started looking up remedies online, and that's when I found out about laser treatment. I tried that route, and it's been about 10 months since I had it done. Unfortunately, my issue hasn't improved completely, and now my dark brown mark has just turned into a white one with tiny dark spots. Could you advise me on what steps I should consider next?
