How do I make the swelling go down?

I was curling my hair with my curling iron and I was being careful,or obviously I wasnt,or whatever but as I was holding the iron,the iron grazed the skin right beside my eye and I screamed for half a second and now I have a big bubbling irritated burn on my face and I’ve already dabbed some mustard on the surface,but I want the redness and swellin g to go down and im not sure what to do but it really burns and I have really thin,sensitive skin that scars really easily.Please help me,thx. :)

mustard wont do anything you should know by now to put a burn under cold running water for 10 minutes or more thats what you should have done right now its too late, aand water wont make the swelling or redness go down because its already there ice the area carefully (with soemthing cold wrapped in a tea towel or soemthing) and you should see a doctor for further advice next time you get a burn never put mustard on it, because that wont do anything put it under cold running water
