Hello,

It is a minor superficial burns. As of now clean the area with clean tap water. You can apply over the counter available creams like silverex ointment. Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
