Cover with some silverzine (specially formulated burn cream) which will help sooth, heal and protect the burn, and then cover with a non stick dressing.

Best thing to do is to cover it with a plaster (bandaid) during the day, just to protect it, but take the plaster off at night so it can dry out and heal.
Keep it clean by washing it in salted water, you don't really need any antiseptic cream or anything.
It will take a couple days to heal enough so that it is no longer tender, but after that it should be fine.

Hmm, second degree burn I'd wager. Let it air out, unless you are going to be in a germ infected place. If you are going to be there, you want it covered to avoid infection. Call your doctor or one of the nurses at your medical clinic, and have them call in a perscription. I highly reccomend Silvadine, as it's cheap, and if you put it in the fridge, it lasts for years. Don't put anything like neosporin on there, because that's mostly going to worsen the problem. Until you can get some Silvadine, keep it uncovered and put burn cooler/soother on there.

I also had a bad burn on my arm once. You should try This stuff called "bag balm" it was actually designed for cows but they sell it in pharmacies in the same section as the antibiotic ointments. I put it on twice a day, didn't cover it with anything, after about one week the burn was healed and I didn't even have a scar.

Let it dry out and then use an ointment such as neosporin. It may be sore for a day or two, but there is nothing else to do.

No don't. Let it breath. A thin protective scab will form. Save the elastoplast and antiseptic cream for bed-time to protect it while you sleep.

Put some anti-biotic ointment on it from a tube for about 3 days, then let it dry out.

Hi put some vaseline on it so it does not dry out. Then cover with cotton batton and protect it for a few days until the healing starts to take place.

Clean it and cover with a dressing which will not stick to the open wound
