  1. This looks to be a second degree burn. My advice is to keep it clean and do not pop the blisters keep and eye on it and if it starts to look infected see your Dr.


  2. First-degree burns are usually limited to redness (i.e. sunburn), a white plaque, & minor pain at the site of injury. These burns only involve the epidermis. Second-degree burns manifest as blistering of the skin, and can involve more or less pain depending on the level of nerve involvement.

    Because of your blister, you appear to have a second-degree burn .If it starts ailing you, a local anesthetic is usually sufficient enough in managing pain of minor first-degree & second-degree burns; also Aloe Vera can be used to heal the burn area.  

  3. it looks sorta like a 2nd degree, really like something i got once, rinse it with cold water for like 5-10 minutes, if you have ice , then ice it, and then wrap a cold towel/cloth around it. or if you happen to have an aloe plant around you can use that, really helps =D.
