: At this time it's a first degree burn which you can treat by gently washing with a mild soap&amp;water, pat dry, cover with antibiotic ointment &amp; apply a nonstick sterile gauze held in place with paper tape. If it blisters, have a physician do the wound care. Don't pop the blister. Do you need a tetanus booster( over 10 years since one)?
