Run cold water over it. Top w/a dab of aloe vera gel.

Put aloe vera gel over the burn and cover it with a bandaid. If you can, put on fresh aloe vera and a clean bandaid 3-5 times per day. If you have access to Lavender or Tea Tree Essential Oils, put a drop of each or either on the burn. They will soothe the burn and help your body generate new skin cells to heal it. Sorry to hear about your burn. Good luck!

keep the burn clean and covered. Apply silvadene cream for added protection from infection and cover with a bandage. Keep it covered, changing the bandage daily, until the wound is closed and healed. Should take from four days to four weeks depending on the severity of the burn.

go get fresh aloe at a plant store...most of them have plants with aloe stems which you break off and let the juices run onto your burn. Then bandage it, repeat every 4 hours if you can. Fresh aloe is the best way.
