You don't say how big the blisters are, but it will make no difference. If you go to a Doctor or Emergency Room at a Hospital, the only thing they will do is coat your hand with an antibiotic cream, then wrap it with bandage. Cold water is best for a burn if you can get to the water, and the way you are talking, this happened at home or someones house. The cold water would have kept it from blistering. I would continue with the cold water, then apply something like Neosporin all over the hand, then wrap it. What ever you do, later on, don't bust the blisters. That is your body's natural defense against burns, so let them bust on their own. The swelling will go down in a couple of days, if not, better see a Doctor. Like I said, when it feels hot, keep running the cold water over the hand, and not just for a minute. Several minutes, take it out from under the water after a minute, but put it back under, then so on until you reach about seven minutes. The longer the better. Best of luck to you young lady. After the blisters bust, you will see new skin under there.
