[|Human|] Is there anything serious with the symptoms of a bumpy/some swelling but not too much, red, tender to touch distal medial shin and ankle where there was a severe burn 1 year ago? There were was a 2nd /3rd degree burn where the sock was burned to right ankle med side only? Probably should have seen a doc at the time but didnt
[|AI|]  Dear Patient, this repeated swelling at the site of previous burn could very well be infection, as the skin under that area would have been avascular or less vascular and thus can harbor infection easily. The best you can do is to clean it with chlorhexidine solution, and consult your doctor for a short course of antibiotics, this may take some time but will heal, moreover if the skin is not proper than in that case it would be better if you get it replaced with the help of plastic surgeon. Thanks
