If you’re concerned I would suggest going by your local chemist and asking . I hope you feel better soon

Check it out with the pharmacist. You can get burn plasters which are excellent as eventually the blister will pop and it will be extremely sore.

How big is it and does it hurt? Less pain than you'd expect is a sign the burn has done significant damage

How big is it? There are guidelines on the NHS website about size etc of burns. I would get that looked at properly. I had blisters like that & I needed a skin graft but it’s hard to tell the size from your picture.
i saw several gp’s, practice nurses and nurses in UTC before eventually being referred to our regional burns unit mine were smaller than a 20p but there was no skin left underneath to ‘grow back’
saw plenty of hcp before I went to the burns unit - all had an opinion - all were frankly useless in hindsight - very nice and spoke very confidently as they do but useless and just got in the way of me getting sorted out properly

Hard to see how big that is from that photo OP.

Unfortunately I caught the blister while getting dressed no dressed

You need to cover it with something non adhesive

I had one like this and when it burst it was a bit grim but then it healed well!
