How Can Burn Blisters On The Finger Tips Be Treated?

...I burned my fingertips on a 600+ degree sheet pan. They are now blistered and ashy. The pail is severe. I cannot take them out of cold water without extreme pain. Is there anything else I can/should do? I have 2% lidocaine gel. Should I use it?
