Burn: Clean, cover with an antibiotic ointment and a dressing. Keep otherwise dry for 3 days. Follow up if there is poor healing or the lesion is increasing in size. All the best.

Mgt: If the burn was superficial without any blisters, I would suggest keeping the area clean and dry. Using a small amount of neosporin ( antibiotic ) ointment can help the healing process.
