See doctor: Your doctor may be able to give you medications to ease the pain. Unless infected, the burn usually resolve in weeks. A deep burn may lead to scarring.

See dr.: When you have diabetes this automatically makes you a high risk patient compared to a non diabetic. It would be wise to make sure there is no infection. The doc might want you to take an antibiotic either topically like SSD creams or possibly I a pill. They may decide to wrap the region to help decrease swelling.
