John hesitates a little too long for the answer to be no before offering a nonchalant shrug.

"I've had worse," he says, because it's true. When the burns were first covering his body, that was much worse. Now it's just itchy and sore, which... is bad because there's a lot of sore itchy patches, but not as bad as searing pain.

He's whole, and he's alive, and it'll all heal... probably? Now that he's dwelling on it he supposes he doesn't know for sure, but itching is usually a sign of healing and he assumes it will toughen up and become less sensitive over time.
