A delayed reaction like this, might in reality be a Shingles attack.
Shingles comes after a stresser of some type. Sometimes it is immune, others fatigue, or injury. (my husband developed shingles a week after a bee sting).
It really should be looked at by a doctor, to determine if the blisters are indeed from the burn, or possibly something else.
Shingles can itch and burn and may have clear fluid heads that leak fluid, or sometimes they involute after the blister stage and turn black, after a week or so. If these are shingles blisters, you will need antiviral treatment quickly to prevent permanent nerve damage which can cause substantial pain in the future.

The one is a big ring, the top side of it is as big as my pinkie nail. These are not small, the whole burn though is only about as big as a silver dollar.
I did talk to the doctor Friday, she told me what to watch out for. I'm really babying this thing to try and protect it. The burn itself is actually a little smaller today.I will go in tomorrow to be seen.
