I've been taking griseofulvin as prescribed and now I've noticed that my ear lobes and the skin under my nose have started peeling and are now scabbing over. I'm not sure what to do about it. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm worried about a burn scar I've had for about a month. There was a fire accident at my house, and I ended up with a superficial burn. It seems like only the first layer of my skin was affected. Is there anything specific I should do to help it heal better or reduce scarring?
