2 year old son burned his hand- HELP?!?!


Question: 2 year old son burned his hand- HELP!?!!?
My two year old grabbed the iron, and burned his hand!. As soon as it happened, I ran his hand under cool/warm water, and now he seems fine!. He says it hurts, but there's no blisters and it's barely red!. But, when I read about burns, it says if it's on the hands, take him to the doctor!? So, should I make the trip!?


Also, any tips on it are appreciated!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
