Hi,

You seem to have localised superficial burns with blisters. The swelling or oedema commonly occurs. It is not serious,but you should consult surgeon or family doctor. After thorough examination and investigations,he can give perfect treatment. You need proper antibiotic,anti inflammatory drugs, localised cleansing and antibiotic cream...so,you consult a doctor to have good healing with minimal scar.

I hope this would help you.
