Greetings, this is a burn - you'll need to apply a cream like silver-ex to reduce the chances of infection - which can possibly cause slower healing and bigger mark. Kindly see a qualified dermatologist near you for prescription of skin lightening and scar management creams that will help prevention of darkening /improvement of the scar mark. hope this helps.
