First, cool the burn immediately under cool, running tap water for 10 to 15 minutes; do not use ice. For a mild, unbroken burn, apply a thin layer of generic petroleum jelly or pure aloe vera gel to keep the area moist. If the skin is slightly broken, a generic antibiotic ointment like bacitracin can help prevent infection. Cover the area loosely with a clean, non-stick sterile bandage. For pain relief, you can take over-the-counter paracetamol or ibuprofen. Avoid popping any blisters. If the burn covers a large area or is severely painful, please consult a doctor.

Since blisters have formed, you have a second-degree burn. Please do not pop the blisters, as they protect against infection. For immediate relief: 1. Clean gently with mild soap and cool water. 2. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin. Avoid home remedies like butter or toothpaste. 3. Cover loosely with a sterile, non-stick bandage. 4. Take Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen to manage the pain and burning sensation. If the burn is larger than your palm, on your face or hands, or shows signs of infection (pus, increased redness), please see a doctor.
