I have a burn from my straightener?

I had forgotten that my straightener/flat iron was on and ran my thumb along the edge of the heated plate to rub off some residue before i realized the pain. The straightener was heated to 410* F but after about a half hour the pain was gone. It is on the tip of my thumb (about a third of an inch in length) and it hasn't blistered. Instead the outer layer of skin has sunken slightly, is smooth to the touch, and has become transparent. Through the that I can see that the under layers have turned white. Is this a burn I should be concerned about? As I said before I feel no pain so it's not interfering with my life in anyway.
