If you have blisters you need to be seen by a doctor. You need to call your family doctor or go to the ER, do not mess around with this because what you describe is at least a second degree burn, and it can get infected and scar. Please do not hesitate or think lightly of this call your primary care physician's office now. Good Luck!

If you have blisters go to you doctor. It sounds like second degree burns. As for first aid for burns, you should put the burn under cold water for 10 to 15 minutes, to cool the burn and skin. Never put any oil substance on a burn as the burn will heat the oil an cause more damage.

If you have blisters then you have at least a second degree burn. You need to make sure that it does not get infected. Wash it with antibacterial soap often and put aloe vera on it. If it has any drainage whatsoever go to the doctor.

go get some aloe. The actual plant is great to keep in the kitchen for just such accidents. You break off a piece and rub the juices inside on your burn. The pain goes away quicker than anything else I have used and it may keep it from scarring.

When you burn yourself like that, it really helps to put some toothpaste on the burn immediately. At this stage, put some aloe gel on it to prevent it from leaving a scar.

The best thing to do is leave it alone. It will heal on its own.
I put my hand on a hot stove once and it never left any scars.

Chances are it won't scar. Really bad burn scars come from 3rd degree burns and yours is probably a 2nd degree burn. It wouldn't hurt to see a doctor if you're really worried about it.

Use lots of aloe vera gel, and try to keep the burned area covered with gauze. Feel better!

put some olive oil and salt on it. Salt will help the blister and the swelling and olive oil removes heat from the burn. Its works like a CHARM! GOOD lUCK!

Put potatos on it, it sounds silly but they really help! Try polysporin too or baking soda. Baking soda is amazing, it is going to burn but its going to help eliminate the bacteria
