Sounds like a 1st degree burn, one that affects the epidermis of skin. I would be a bit careful with putting an ice pack right after you got burned, such rapid changes in temperature can worsen the burn. Instead of the ice pack, use cool water and keep your hand in it for about 10 minutes for the least. Try to keep the burn wrapped as it can get easily infected, use cling wrap to avoid any infections. Any type of burn should be looked at by a doctor to ensure that it will heal properly.
