hi..its 1st degree superficial burn..initially you should wash keep the burnt area clean..use polyfax plus..use some anti allergic like fexofinadine to reduse itching ..also if the pain is sever use some oral painkiller like ibuprofen..when the ulcer is healed then use sunblock to prevent excessive pigmentation.thanks
