Cold compress: Leave blister alone until pops. Clean area. It will be uncomfortable like sunburn and resolve. Non sticky dressing. If not tender it may be deeper. Seek attention.

You describe a 2nd: ... degree or partial-thickness burn that will heal on its own, given good wound care. Keep the wound clean and apply antibiotic ointment to it until healed. Use simple pain meds, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen for discomfort. If it does not heal or seems like it's getting infected, you should seek medical care.
