Hello, I'm so sorry you have had this terrible injury. *The treatment for burns is infection control and pain control. * Looks like it is your leg, so keep the leg elevated since when your leg is down (like walking or sitting) gravity makes your blood go down to your feet & the pain will be worst. The doctor first categorizes the burn as 1st degree (skin is painful & red but no blisters yet), 2nd degree (blisters have formed) or 3rd degree (skin is gone & you see muscle).
