Cool compressses: right after this type of burn i would apply a cool/cold compress. in the event it develops a blister, leave it alone do not open the blister. Keep the area clean and prevent it from getting infected

Agree but add: Agree with Dr Amica’s response,but the skin will also be dehydrated, so add a good moisturizer, or better vitamin E oil to the burned area several times daily. You can slide a vit E capsule to extract contents over the burned area vs buying a bottle of vit E oil. Good luck
