Nose Re-Surgery

6 weeks after Megaderm, stinging and burning

I had 13-year-old 2 mm silicone removed along with capsular calcification and various pains, and in May I had 4 mm of Megaderm placed on the nasal bridge and a little under the nasal tip cartilage retention area (a fourth revision) It has been 6 weeks since the revision surgery, but the bridge still stings and burns so badly that it feels like the skin surface is cracking. It started stinging from week 3, and the intensity has gradually decreased, but today it got very painful again so I took painkillers. My skin is so thin that I had Megaderm placed, but is it a problem if it still stings after more than 6 weeks?

The tenderness, headache, tightness, and pressure that I had before the revision have gone away, but the marked area on the bridge stings and burns so much. My skin is so sensitive that even applying lotion stings, so I can't even put on sunscreen.

The hospital said it is not a sign of inflammation and that it can happen during recovery. There is no swelling or pus, and only a slight redness (to the point that it is not visible in photos) and some cracking of the surface, but that is also not visible in photos. It is painful and I am so anxious. The hospital said to contact them if there is swelling, tenderness, or redness, and told me to take anti-inflammatory medicine from the pharmacy. They said this can happen during the two to three months of recovery, but is waiting really the right thing to do? What if my skin is too thin to withstand the thickness of the Megaderm.. should I remove it early? Should I even go to a dermatologist?.. I also want to know the exact condition of my skin, but what should I do? I am so anxious that I cannot go about daily life. Please give me some advice
