This is a second degree burn and will probably result in blistering. Once blisters have fomed do not pop them - breaking the epidermis will lead to infection. All burns should be cooled with running water, (please, if a garden hose is used, make sure all the heated water is drained first). Swimming pool water may be used as the water is neutral but do not throw the victim in the pool as this will increase chances of shock. Information from memory and paramedical training.
