I'd say what you're experiencing is pretty normal. It sounds to me like you just have surface (1st degree) burns. Whatever sort of burns they ate they need to be well cared for as they are very prone to infection which you are most likely to see in a couple-few days from now but may be later if you picked it up after you burnt yourself (or is sometimes earlier).
The best would be to use burns plasters or if you haven't got these then just using normal low/non-adherant (non-stick) dressings with antiseptic cream on there inner surface would be the best. If you use this method then change the dressings twice a day at first when they are oozing more to reduce the chance of the dressing sticking. If you're using burns plasters use them as said on the packaging, these can often remain in place for much longer periods; sometimes up to a week though if you are using these and there are signs of infection (such as redness/ increased rather than decreased pain/ swelling) then take them off and use a normal dressing as they can worsen these.
Unlike the earlier user, I would recommend you reading either the
wound care guide or the
burns FAQ. These are both much easier to read and understand than the burns article you were directed towards earlier which the FA Team are soon to be revising.
