Looks like it’s hypertrophic scar formation… you need to prevent it now itself from developing into a contracture. As it is just 2months old… do massage with any moisturiser or coconut oil… wear silicon gel sheet for 23hours a day and wear stocking over it as compression helps

Hi there..
Silicone sheets while helpful in some instances is not a panacea for all burns.
To begin with will require clear digital pics of each area as the degree of burns at different spots you describe may be different and consequently an appropriate modality of treatment will be required for the given area.
Next Steps
INSTANT ONLINE Consultation appears a go-to recommendation for you for a speedy solution.
Will formulate an action plan based on the pics provided 📥
Health Tips
Avoid OTC products and home remedies 🙏
