Scar irritated by silicone scar sheets

I started using silicone sheets on a burn scar under my nose (12 hrs/day) and saw a big improvement in redness over 1 month. When I started wearing them the whole day, my skin became itchy and red. I stopped for 3 weeks and used ketoconazole. When I restarted for 2hrs/day, my skin became irritated again. I also have seb derm on that area. I want to continue using the sheets but need to calm down my skin. My derm suggested using desonide and pimecrolimus but don't steroids increase yeast?
