My puppy's paws are burned. Can I treat them at home or see a vet?

Question

I’m not sure if I should take him to vet or not online it says to put neosporn on it and wrap it up, keep him off his feet he went on his first official walk he’s four months and it looks like he burned the bottom of back puppy paws I just wanna know if it’s bad enough to take him to the vet or if I can treat him at home, he doesn’t lick them he walks like everything’s fine but I know it’s not we’ve kept guaze on them and tape at night he doesn’t bite at it either. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered

It looks like it is healing well so I would keep an eye on it to make sure it continues to improve. This time of year any pavement is very hot to walk on especially for tender puppy feet. If you can't leave your hand on the pavement it's too hot for his feet. Get him some booties to wear when the ground is hot so this doesn't happen again in the future.
