Suggest Treatment For Skin Burn

Hello docor, my one & half year old has dropped hot oil on her hand. I have poured cold water on her hand and she seems to be fine. I am a bit worried cause there is a small area were her skin has peeled. Is there anything else to do? can i use Burnol or coconut oil?
