Burn while cooking

I had my hand burn by spilled milk. I washed my hand in running tap water. I'm having burning sensation over the affected area. Should I consult a general physician or a dermatologist?

The skin is dry without blisters.Healing time is about 3 to 6 days; the superficial skin layer over the burn may peel off in 1 or 2 days.if its a second degree or third degree burn which i cannot acess with the history,you to consult surgeon .
