Depends: The new healing skin under the blister will be thin, pink & sensitive to touch. Infection would be redness and swelling in the normal skin around the blister. Itching can be normal. Without an exam i cannot tell what you mean by "bubbles." if you are concerned about infection, see your doctor very soon.

Normal Healing: Burns are the response of the tissues to injury from heat. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Depth determines care. Do not use ice worsens already injured skin. Cool water soaks help as can taking anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily/gently helps.
