Brief Answer:
Go to hospital to evaluate the burning.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

I think it is better to go to emergency room to have a doctor see the severity of burning or possible allergic reaction.
Some mild burning is normal but you are saying it is burning tremendously.
Try to remove it or wash it as much as you can with cold water.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
