1. Let cold water run on it for a lot longer than a minute as it prevents the burn from getting worst. http://www.askdrsears.com/html/11/T085500.asp
2. Sudocrem was advised to me by a nurse. Since I've used it for burns and scalds I've had no blistering or scarring. Apply very thickly and leave as long as poss. Cover with a dressings if practical.
3. its a burn and the white spot is a blister. put some aloe vera on it and call it a day.
4. It's called a burn. I've found that the warmer it is, the more painful it is. If I burn myself, i try and keep it cool, use ice or put water on it (keep it damp) It's not dangerous and DON'T POP THE BLISTER (it might get infected)
