Hello,
It seems you have got superficial burns.
I think Burnheal cream will be take care of your situation.
Additionally, I would suggest application of topical antibiotic like mupirocin to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
Oral analgesics like Diclofenac will help in relieving pain.
Take care
