So about 2 weeks ago I burnt my ankle on a hot water bottle, it blistered and popped so I have been to the doctors and it’s not infected was given cream and non adhesive bandages but it’s still not healed, the first few days I couldn’t walk on it without being in a lot of pain and it’s not painful anymore and it’s white is this normal ? Or do I need to go back to the doctors or is this it healing ?
also anyone know how bad this will scar

That's a nasty burn but it does look like it's healing fairly well, the white is normal with bad scalds. The redness around the edge isn't a sign of infection, but localised inflammation.
Keep doing what you're doing and if you'd like some more reassurance, speak to the pharmacist at your nearest pharmacy.
