Heat takes time to burn you. That's why you can swipe your hand through a fire or put out a fire with your fingertips and not get burnt.
But you can't just quickly dip your finger in boiling water and be fine because some drops will stay on and transfer their heat into you.
Lava Plume and Scorching Sands also work under this logic. Lava is liquid and will stay on your body. Sand is a bunch of tiny solids that are hard to get off before they have a chance to burn you.
