2nd degree burn treatment

At first I thought I'd been bitten by an insect but I am 90% certain I have actually burned my foot on my hot water bottle last night. I worked a night shift so got home and just passed out, but the hot water bottle water must've been so hot it gradually burned my skin away.

Anyway I've woken up with a wound that has slowly grown into a massive painful blister over the day to the point where I can barely move my ankle without it tearing/pulling at the skin at the base of the blister which is really inflamed.

I will try going to the emergency doctors tomorrow, but does anyone have any advice on what to do/not to do to avoid irritating it further and making it worse..

I work full time, long shifts on my week so I'm a bit worried about having to be back at work in 4 days when I can hardly even hobble around my own flat.. :(
