I had a severe bacon grease burn, The Dr. told me at that time the
best thing for it was zinc oxide, keep it covered with the zinc oxide
it dried up the blister,no scar It is a thick heavy white cream, you
can get it at any store, So you should keep a blister or burn covered
so in case it does break,you don't have a problem

While you are looking for that zinc oxide, just put an ice cube on the burn - relieves pain & there is no scaring. Years ago (I don't want to mention how many) my babysitter put butter on a burn. Yes, it relieved pain - but to this day I have a scar. Cold running water works too.
