Burn Care: Most minor burns will heal on their own, and home treatment is usually all that is needed to relieve your symptoms and promote healing. But if you suspect you may have a more severe injury, use first-aid measures while you arrange for an evaluation by your doctor. http://www.webmd.com/first-aid/tc/burns-home-treatment

Likely OK: It appears you have a first degree burn in the same category as a sunburn. Scarring only will occur with a third degree burn which gets below the outer layers of the skin.
