Hopefully you did not damage your skin severely as a 2nd Burn. It will scar as it heals if there is broken skin or blister. Apply amolient which has Vitamin K and Alovera to help heal the area. Cover loosely with a sterile gauze.

Anything that will dissolve hair is a nasty chemical. I would recommend shaving from now on. Only time will tell if it will get better but most likely will. Can send us pictures in a consult if it does not.
