I accidentally got battery acid on my lip. i flushed it with water for about 20 minutes now it burns and blistered how do i treat it.

As a burn: This is a chemical burn and needs to be treated as such. The early treatment is flushing the skin with water as you did. Ice compresses will help with the swelling and an emollient ointment like vaseline will make the surface feel better. The concern is secondary infection and scarring so a visit the a dermatologist would be in order.
