Burn from cooker door

Stupidly caught my leg on a very hot cooker door, the skin peeled immediately. Wondering whether I should go to minor injuries or whether I can treat it at home ?

Photo hasn’t uploaded. Generally if a burn is bigger than a 50p it’s advisable to go to minor injuries.

Ouch! Might need one of those large dressings on to stop it getting infected. I had a nasty steam burn once ( stupidly reached over the kettle) and the nurse at the surgery dressed it and gave me sterile dressings.
