run it under cool water and use mild soap (ivory and dove work best)
apply a thin layer of neosporin over the burn and cover with guaze or a telfa pad-you can find these at any drugstore.... you can also use vitamin e oil instead of the neosporin.
change the pad at least twice a day and allow the burn to air for awhile.
do not apply any food products to the burn area-it's very open to infection and these things can increase the risk.
for pain and swelling you can take ibuprofen 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.
things to watch out for that would indicate infection and need immediate medical attention are:
-a fever of 101 or higher
-drainage from the burn site-yellowish-brown or green in color
-red lines extending outward from the burn to the rest of the body (indicates infection on the blood-will need i.v antibiotics)

Do not put ice on a burn. It will damage the skin and make it burn more. The best thing to put on a burn is aloe vera. If you don't have any, a wet towel will do just fine. Unfortunately their is hardly anything you can do for a burn. If it blistered do NOT pop the blister. The blister is there to help it heal. Hope I helped. Sorry, burns suck.

HOW BAD A BURN????
If it's worse that a bad sunburn, get to the Emergency Room -- burns get infected easily.
Run COLD water over it.
DON'T put Ice directly on it, or butter or any oil/lanolin-based lotion.
Ice wrapped in a washcloth is oK or try:
aloe vera gel, sun-burn spray, bactine-type spray
make a paste of baking soda or oatmeal & water

Run cold water and ice. Neosporim might help.

Aloe Vera gel will do wonders. Chill it in the fridge before you use it.

Aloe vera will help. Put ice on it at first, then smooth on aloe.
