Suggest Treatment For Burn On Upper Lip

Hi. About an hour ago, I was melting something over a fire. Stupidly, I pulled it out and touched it to my lip to see if it was hot enough. It was very hot and burned my lip. On my upper lip, it was red and it seemed as if the lip peeled off, because around it I can see the skin. It feels kind of raw and hurts. I went inside and took a towel and dampened it with ice water to put on my lip. After maybe 15-20 minutes I took off the cold towel and put Vaseline petroleum jelly on, which is still currently on. It doesn t hurt too much, but I want it to heal quickly so it will not be as visible. Also, I am a teen and I will go to the doctor soon just to check, but I just want tips now. Thank you!
