Well it sounds like a first or second degree burn, nothing too bad. Keep putting ice on it or putting it under water and put some burn cream on it. It should take around a week to fully recover, if not go to your doctor.

It depends if it is partial thickness burn or full thickness burn.
Partial 1 and 2 degree burns heal pretty well straight away. This is what I think you have. You have just killed the outer layer of skin which will shed itself and a new layer will come through good as new.

im not sure about the degree. but it will only take about a week to scab over. if it starts to collect water or pus or whatever, clean a needle with rubbing alcohol, and poke the burn to get the liquid out. if you emptied it out right, the skin should dry up and fall right off. a lot like a blister. but it will leave very raw skin, and if it doesnt want to come off, DONT FORCE IT. you might hurt it more.

2 days for example iff yu touch smoething hot. But if it's direct fire to skin, then perhaps never. When i was a kid, my sister burned me with the flame in a match and it never heals. i have this mark

that is probably a 2nd degree burn, so about 2 weeks.
