First degree burns can cause some hyper or hypo pigmentation in the skin as it heals. Warm water can cause vasodilation of the skin which would then cause areas of irregular pigmentation to show up more clearly. It seems as though you are seeing the "scarring" caused by the steamer burns. Care of healing burns involves using scar ointment, keeping the area moist and taking a collagen supplement.
