First-degree burn
Soak the burn in cool water. Then treat it with a skin care product like aloe vera cream or an antibiotic ointment. To protect the burned area, you can put a dry gauze bandage over the burn. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol), ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (brand name: Aleve), to help with the pain.
Second-degree burn
Soak the burn in cool water for 15 minutes. If the burned area is small, put cool, clean, wet cloths on the burn for a few minutes every day. Then put on an antibiotic cream, or other creams or ointments prescribed by your doctor. Cover the burn with a dry nonstick dressing (for example, Telfa) held in place with gauze or tape. Check with your doctor's office to make sure you are up-to-date on tetanus shots.
Third-degree burn
For third-degree burns, go to the hospital right away. Don't take off any clothing that is stuck to the burn. Don't soak the burn in water or apply any ointment. You can cover the burn with a sterile bandage or clean cloth until you receive medical assistance.

Walk away with your head held up. Learn from the incident and don't repeat the mistakes that caused you to feel burned.

Find a new mate. Do not end up in another love triangle.

Were you thinking this would last forever? What made you think this was good for you in the first place. Do you believe in love. Because most of us do not share what is precious to us. Don't give in to all temptations.
best wishes

Lick your wounds and head for the exits. If you've never been burned in life, it's only because you've never done anything.

It is your own fault that you got entangled into this situation, so walk away and learn from your mistake.
