The immediate risk of burns increases with the increase in area involved. Long term consequences depend on the depth of burns. Ig is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. Burn on the face or hands would require more attention than in another area. If you have any concern, please consult a doctor. Apply triple antibiotic cream to the affected area.
