Go get help - being that your toe is an external appendage you do not want to get an infection. If it get's infected it can become septic - watch for it turning blue, black, or the sore widening. My guess it's gonna get worse before better. You may want to get some antibotics.

Just saw the pic...Is that the chicken? You're well into 2nd maybe close to 3rd. Get some help. Then after that's taken care of you may want to contact a podiatrist because - DAMN! Merc

All you ever wanted to know about burns....get treatment. As I recall redness is first degree. Blistering and peeling 2nd. If the skin does not react and looks dead or can be white 3rd. You seem to be in 2nd class. Grease burns are bad too since its a source of biological material. Burns Determining the seriousness of a burn The seriousness of a burn is determined by: The depth of the burn (first-, second-, third-, or fourth-degree). The size of the burn. The cause (thermal, electrical, chemical, radiation, or friction). The part of the body where the burn occurred. The age and health of the burn victim. Other injuries. First-degree burn A first-degree burn is a minor red burn of the top layer of skin, such as a mild sunburn. The burned skin may hurt and be slightly swollen, and it may make a person feel slightly feverish. First-degree burns usually heal with home treatment in about 3 to 5 days. They do not usually cause blisters or scars. Second-degree burns Second-degree burns are injuries to the skin caused by heat, radiation, electricity, chemicals, or friction. These burns are also called partial-thickness burns. There are two types of second-degree burns, defined by their depth: Superficial partial-thickness burns injure the first and second layers of skin and are often caused by hot water or hot objects. The skin around the burn turns white (blanches) when pressed, then turns back to red. The burn is moist and painful with blistering and swelling that usually lasts for at least 48 hours. Deep partial-thickness burns injure deeper skin layers and are white with red areas. They are often caused by contact with hot oil, grease, soup, or microwaved liquids. This kind of burn is not painful, but it can cause a sensation of pressure.. The skin looks spotted, remains white when pressed, may appear waxy in some areas, and is dry or slightly moist. Possible infection is an important concern with these burns. It may take several days before symptoms develop and it becomes clear whether the burn is superficial or deep. Treatment varies for a second-degree burn depending on its size, depth, and a person's age and overall health. With all burns, it is important to watch and seek treatment for any signs of infection. Treatment of second-degree burns may leave scars after the burns heal. Third-degree burns Third-degree burns, also called full-thickness burns, are the most serious burns and injure all skin layers and the fatty tissue layer under the skin. The skin's ability to regrow is damaged. Pain may be very severe or, if nerves are burned, at first there may be no pain at all. Third-degree burns can look white, cherry red, or black, and they do not change color when you press on them (they do not blanch). Blisters may be present, but the burn is dry, hard, and leathery-looking. Third-degree burns may be caused by contact with steam, hot oil, grease, certain chemicals, or an electrical current, or by soaking or immersion in a hot liquid. How hot these sources are and how long they are in contact with the skin determines the different degrees of burns. Infection is a major concern with third-degree burns. These burns always require an evaluation by a health professional. With small burns, new skin sometimes grows in from unburned areas. Large burns may require skin grafts and surgery may be needed to remove scars.
