FWIW I burned two of my fingers last week pushing an oven rack back in....barehanded

I ran them under cold water immediately and then held onto ice packs for the rest of the day. They got white blisters that turned dry-ish looking and then, with regular use of my fingers (they were right at the top joint) started to crack on their own. They were EXTREMELY painful every time they opened up and I've really struggled with keeping them dry as it was my RIGHT hand and I'm RIGHT handed and have to cook everything from scratch and have no dishwasher (except for myself). this happened 8 days ago. One of the burns is finally healed over and the other is just about (I can see just the slightest amount of red skin underneath still. I imagine by the end of the weekend things should be mostly healed over.
