Hello

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com, I can understand your concern.

Your burn looks quite infected. There seems to be a bacterial infection causing the large pink circle as well.

I would recommend that you take an oral antibiotic like azithromycin for it. You will require a prescription for it. Also application of mupirocin cream twice a day for two weeks will be helpful. In case of pain you can take a paracetamol for it.

This will slowly help resolve the infection.

Hope this helps, Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care
