Hi I got a burn from a motorcycle 2 weeks ago. It now is healing with a scab but 2 days ago it got a bunch of red itchy bumps around it. Put coconut oil on all of them last night but got worse today. What should I do for the itch? What does this mean? What should I treat it with?

You may want to visit a doctor.

Why would you put coconut oil on a burn? You should never put oil of any kind on a burn injury. Redness indicates an infection so you need to go to a doctor and get antibiotics.
