Hope you have already washed it thoroughly. If not spend about 20 minutes washing it in running water. Then apply eye ointment on the area. Keep applying once in 4 hours to keep the area moist. Consult a Plastic surgeon if there is severe pain, to get a prescription for pain medication. If its red in color, it's usually 1st degree burn which heals in 2 weeks without scar. Nevertheless review with a Plastic surgeon to get advise on how to improve burn wound healing after 2 weeks.
