Ok i have the perfect answer ( i have been there) let it heal and go to your local pharmacy or such a by some MEDERMA, trust me this stuff works!!!! Cocoa Butter Stick also works, but let me tell you, mederma is the stuff!!!

Use an Aloe Vera Plant. Clip a small amount off, and squeeze the aloe onto a cotton ball, and apply to area.
You can by the gel at any drug store, and can also find it in the suntan area.

Ask the pharmacist for an ointment to prevent scars from burns. You can also go to dermatologist or doctor. You might also be given antibiotic. It's most likely first or second degree burn which won't leave a heavy scar. I also had burned some parts of my face with cooking oil (lol) years ago , it's scary I bet....but I don't have scars. There's a slight mark few months after but it eventually is gone. Yours should not be worst than mine.

whatever you do, leave it alone, do not pick at it.

Hey, I'm not a doctor, but, maybe you should go to your doctor? IDK! Sorry I couldn't really help...

keep it moist with vaseline- buy a new pot so it's sterile. Thats what a&e do with mild facial burns but it's best if done straight away so that it prevents a scab from forming.

Mederma & also use Aloe.

i suggest that you go to a doctor as quick as possible but in the meantime put some cold water on it and some rubbing alcohol.then put a big band-aid on it.that's all i can come up with!!! ;)
