In most cases water can be used to cool the burned area back to normal body temperature. In this case seeing as the burn broke the skin I would think it was either an irritated patch of skin or it is a medium class burn and I would recommend a doctor as it may get infected. Water to cool it will help but it may take a long time for you to stop feeling the effects of the burn. After you have cooled it down to your satisfaction, head to a doctor as soon as possible. Oh and do not use margarine or butter or something to cool it down as although most people may find that a irrational thought, under pressure you may feel the need to grab the closest thing. DO NOT DO THIS! It may seriously infect your skin which can be hard to get rid of.
