that doesn't really answer the questions.

Is the skin red or swollen? If so that makes it a first degree burn and the least severe. In which case, just run it under cold water for ten minutes.

If it's read ans blistered, or a little moist that means the tissue is damaged and you more then likely have second degree burns. Treat it the same way you would first degree burns UNLESS the burn is open, if that's the case seek medical attention.

And finally third degree burns, the most severe. If the skin is white or leathery. In this kind of burn all layers of the skin are burned and in which case you should seek immediate medical attention.
