Burn advice please (with pics)

DD has a burn on her tummy, I'm usually pretty ok first aid wise, but this one I'm debating whether to carry on self treating or nip to minor injuries?
Self treatment has been inadine patch and clean dressings because of where it is.

She did it Wednesday, and the pics were taken just now. My finger for scale ish.

Thanks

Try asking if a pharmacist can take a look, there are special burns plasters.

It looks ok to be honest. She’s done well not to pop it. I’d just carry on and keep an eye on it.

Oh, hadn't thought of pharmacist!
May do that.
Thanks.

Re.popping it, that's why I've kept it covered because it's on her waist band area.

Ask the pharmacist about petroleum jelly gauze dressings, and sterile dressings to cover the gauze and keep her clothes clean. They are very easy to use and v. effective at allowing wounds to heal.
