Put aloe on it and wait for it to heal all the way. Don't put makeup on it until it's entirely healed, because that's bad for the skin, and it should get the chance to breathe as much as possible. Not pretty, but you don't want a scar! If it does leave a mark, start putting vitamin E oil on it every day to help it fade.

Get some natural (not synthetic) vitamin E oil. Capsules will do. Break the capules open and rub the oil on your forehead. This will help with the scaring. Arnica is also brilliant for burns and wound healing for initial harm reduction.

Use a combination of Aloe Vera Gel and Vitamin E oil. Just buy the vitamin E pills and cut them open and squeeze out the liquid.

Get some Vitamin E oil and rub it on the spot three times a day. It will heal quicker but the spot will be discolored for sometime.

Clean your forehead with something and lotion it with neosporin to stop it from making a scar you should have done that in the first place but i am sure it will still help

be sure to use sunscreen on that area for awhile, because any sun exposure to the new skin will cause a reddened area that is permanent!
Moisturize, use Neosporin or another ointment that reduces scarring.
BUMMER!

Put some Antibiotic cream on it and some Aloe Vera. It will heal on its own over time and with correct treatment.

Antibiotic ointment everyday on the spot till it heals will do the trick.

WHAT NOT TO DO IT THE BIGGEST THING.
SOME OILS AND MAKEUPS HAVE COCO BUTTER IN THEM .
DO NOT GET ANY COCO BUTTER ON A BURN IT WILL CAUSE A SEVER INFECTION.
See a doc for burns they can also get infected with staff infections. dry is usullay best for burns.

to help it from scaring put a little bit of neosporin on it at least twice a day, plus that will help the burn
