I'm really concerned because I had an electrical solenoid explode in my hand last October and got 2nd degree burns. The GP checked it over, and while it's healed now and not red or hot, I'm starting to feel pain around where the wound was. Theres some scarring, but its barely visible. Im afraid there might be some internal damage I can't see. What should I do about this pain? Could it be something serious?

Burns can sometimes damage nerves, especially if they affect deeper layers of the skin. Even after the visible injury heals, the nerves can take time to fully recover, which may cause persistent pain, tingling, or sensitivity in the affected area.If the pain is sharp, burning, or tingling, it could be related to nerve regeneration or nerve damage. This type of pain is sometimes referred to as neuropathic pain.Seeing a dermatologist or burn specialist: They can assess the healing process and check for any underlying issues with the skin or deeper tissues.

I'm really worried about my daughter. She's been dealing with angular cheilitis for the past 15 days. We went to the doctor and he recommended using this cream called Activities, but it hasn't helped at all. In fact, she's now got some kind of allergic reaction, with small red spots near her lower lips and face. It's also itchy and painful. I read online that this cream shouldn't be swallowed, and I'm wondering if that's what's causing the issue since she might have accidentally ingested some. I'm not sure what to do next. Can you help us figure out what's going on and what steps we should take?
