What to do for a steam burn with boils?

Friday afternoon I was cooking and I stupidly lifted the lid inward and the steam burned my thumb. I immediately ran it under cool water for 5 to 10 minutes to stop the initial cooking. I didnt have anything to use so I toughed it out. It didn't look like much except for a red thumb on the inside and out. Well the next morning when I was getting my shoes on I used my thumb not thinking because it wasn't in major pain. When I slipped my shoe on my foot caught my thumb and broke a blister I didn't even know I had. I looked down and realized I had two blisters. Now one is popped and one isn't. The one that is popped is giving me the most grief. I went out and bought Neosporin and slathered it on it but didn't cover it.

I was wondering would the redness be from the initial burn 48 hours later or could this be a sign of infection? When I press the red area it is painful but it still could be the burn. I just don't know.

    First of all, you should never ever run a burned body part under cold water. The best thing to do it press it against another piece of your flesh(for instance the palm of your other hand). This cream called Silvadene Cream. It is a prescription but works like magic...no scares...nothing! People swear on this. I know that my dentist and doctor both can prescribe this. It works quickly too. This same thing happened to me. Good Luck.
