Rinse the burn w/ cool water or a compress. Do not put ice in direct on contact w/ your skin.
Once the skin has cooled, apply Neosporin or Bactine.
You can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) for the pain.
Use gauze to cover the burn loosely.

Hot cooking oil burns - Use makeup remover to gently get the oil off the skin so the damaged skin can breathe. Put bags of frozen vegetables into large bowls of cool water to soak the skin in. Sit down, take pain meds, watch something dumb on TV and distract yourself so you do not faint from the pain. Do not worry about cleaning up the kitchen or the stains on your clothes, if this even occurred to you, schedule an appointment with a therapist as soon as the burn heals! Don't hesitate to ask a neighbor for help. Americans have a latent hero gene just waiting to be exercised, and burns are very serious business.

depends on what body part, if a hand put hand in bucket of ice water, put a little salt in to make the water colder quicker.
aloe Vera also works, get some silverdene from an ER or clinic wrap it loosely, bactracine on gauze also works. after 1 week allow to dry up( new skin under burn has started to grow) dead skin will start to peel. I recently burned my thumb and palm with gravy this is what was done for my hand. I have no scarring.

Wash off oil...then take a paper towel or a clean dish cloth and soak it in vinegar ,stings just a bit but soothes the burned area

neosporin, ice, go soak in a tub of cold water depending on how big the burn. if just on one part of the body like hand, arm, ect. then just put that part in a bowl of waterrr.

If you have it, try lavender oil. Its has soothing qualities, and great healing qualities for many injuries. I keep some on hand all the time. Of course, there is ICE.

the ooze from an aloe vera plant. Slit the aloe leave lengthwise and put the goo on the cut. I have aloe vera on my kitchen window sill for situations like yours.
