Got a bastard of a little burn on my finger

So at work on Sunday I burnt my hand in some boiling hot curry sauce.
My finger got the worst of it, got a massive blister just beneath my nail, and somebody told me to burst it, which I did.
Now it's Tuesday and the wound is open, I've been told not to put a plaster on it despite the fact that it's an open wound, but I wear a plastic glove when I'm working.
Is there anything I can get in the meantime, because it stings like a motherfucker, and I don't want it to get infected.
Cheers in advance :thumb:

It might already have become infected - you really should not have popped the blister, it is there to stop infection by cushioning the burnt area of skin allowing it time to heal - when you burst the blister you remove the open wound protection. =/
