Burn skin happenned: Was there a blister from the burn before it turned white and stiff? How big an area of skin? How hot was the object you touched and how long did you hold on to it before letting go? You either have a partial or full thickness burn. If it is full thickness and bigger than the size of your finger nail, I recommend you see a hand surgeon. Full thickness burn=dead skin, does not hurt.
