Burned tip of nose, skin came off, what do I do?

I didnt have anything sweet to eat at home and so I decided to make caramel candy. So I made some and I poured it out onto wax paper to let it set. Stupid stupid me wanted to smell it and I accidentally touched the tip of my nose to the super hot mixture. Pain, panic, and I realized what happened and took the candy off my nose with my finger (finger is also badly burned). So I decided to put a cool compress on my nose. When I took the compress off it took the skin from the tip of my nose with it. The tip of my nose has a big raw hole, around the size of a dime. What should I do with it? It looks like it needs to be cleaned and covered, but how? Its saturday night where I am and all the stores are closed, I dont have any gauze or medications...

    ..get some ice on it and some unsalted curd, that helps to cool it down and when the stores open again get a got cream against burning sensations and a healing cream and this should be gone after 2 to 3 weeks..
