My opinion would be to get him to a vet. Chances are he will require antibiotics to prevent further infection etc and wound will require treatment.

Bactroban or Polysporin should be fine. Next time drop him in ice cold water or pour ice water over the wounds as quickly as possible to bring down the temperatures of the burnt area.

If the burn is not into the tissue he should be fine. Keep his cage really clean and clean the wounds twice a day and put the ointment on the cleaned area.
