Well, if it isn't bad, then just leave it alone. If you think you should do something about it, then follow these instructions.
First Aid for Minor Burns
If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burned area or soak it in a cool water (NOT ICE WATER) bath. Keep the area in the bath for five minutes. If the burn occurred in a cold environment, DO NOT apply water. A clean, cold, wet towel will also help reduce pain.
After flushing or soaking the burn for several minutes, cover the burn with a sterile non-adhesive bandage or clean cloth.
Protect the burn from friction and pressure.
Over-the-counter pain medications may be used to help relieve pain; they may also help reduce inflammation and swelling.
Minor burns will usually heal without further treatment.
There you go! Yes it was copy pasted, hope you don't mind.

The imortant thing with superficial burn care is to keep the area clean and dry. if you use ice packs or cold compresses, make sure to put something between your skin and the ice. If a blister forms, remember, do not pop it, or you risk infection. Burn creams are okay, but don't believe that old wives tale about vaseline. Petroleum based products (i.e. vaseline, certain types of body lotion) form a barrier that won't let the heat escape, and could cause futher damage.

Run it under cold water immediately. After that, put an ice bag, wrapped in a washcloth, on for 20 minutes at a time to keep the swelling down. If it blisters, you may need medical attention. Otherwise, you could put otc antibiotic ointment on it and cover with a bandage.

ice or aloe from the plant. I keep aloe growing in the house just for burns. It is truly a miracle plant. You have to put it on as soon as you get a burn. If your finger is burning keep it in cool water as long as you can. It will be almost gone in the morning.

Run it under cold water for a minimum of 5 minutes then apply aloe. Stay away from anything greasy cuz that will hold in the heat on your skin and make it worse.

Too late now, but next time it happens, put ice on the burn as quickly as possible.
For now, Aloe Vera should ease the pain.

Put your finger in a bowl of ice water. Be careful about putting ice directly on a body part for too long - you can get frostbite.

sometimes honey helps the discomfort in after couple of minutes. you in user-friendly terms positioned it on a band-help and positioned the honey good the place the burn is. If a blister develops do no longer pop it. If it gets popped sparkling it out and save a band-help on it. desire you experience extra clever.
