Tincture of time: A first degree burn is one where the skin is red but there is no blistering. They also generally tend to burn or hurt. A true first degree burn should settle down in about 3-5 days. The redness and burning should be gone by then.

Avoid sun exposure: If your diagnosis is correct the burn is healed. Initial treatment of 1st degree burns is preventing infection. The texture of the skin will be ok but the problem is color changes. The color changes can be related to your skin type, ethnic variations or (most important), sun exposure. I would be very cautious about sun exposure and use high #block. There are treatments if color problems occur.
