Answers:
Well, I have done this same thing before!. You really do not need to do anything about it!. All you need to do is let it grow the air bubbles and then wait a week and then you should be able to stretch the skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a bit late now but with all burns, you should apply as soon as possible plain Alka-Seltzer in a glass of plain water, and soak a swab of lint in the mixture, lightly squeese out, leaving enough moisture in the swab and apply to burn this will take the sting out and you will not get any blisters!.
You have not got air bubbles they are blisters and are usualy filled with liquid!.I usualy puncture mine with a sterile needle and drain the fluid and apply an antiseptic!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

there's really nothing much you can do about it now except to keep it clean and dry!. the next time that you get a burn put a diaper rash cream that contains zinc on the burn!. it will relieve the pain and prevent a blister!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it will probably be okay my 8 year old burned hers on a four wheeler it just takes time it will heal it is a heat burn so ya its going to have bubbles in it there like water bubble like when you burn your hand on the stoveWww@Answer-Health@Com
