First Aid  \nFOR MINOR BURNS:\n\nIf the skin is unbroken, run cool water over the area of the burn or soak it in a cool water bath (not ice water). Keep the area submerged for at least 5 minutes. A clean, cold, wet towel will also help reduce pain. \nCalm and reassure the person. \nAfter flushing or soaking, cover the burn with a dry, sterile bandage or clean dressing. \nProtect the burn from pressure and friction. \nOver-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve pain and swelling. DO NOT give children under 12 aspirin. Once the skin has cooled, moisturizing lotion also can help. \nMinor burns will usually heal without further treatment. However, if a second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, or if it is located on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or a major joint, treat the burn as a major burn. \nMake sure the person is up-to-date on tetanus immunization. \nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000030.htm\n\nPeople have typically treated burns with ice and oil. However, do not use these! Ice of ice water causes loss of body heat and further damages the skin and underlying tissues. Likewise, do not put oil, butter or ointments on blisters or deep burns because these items seal in the heat, do not relieve pain very well. Another do not: do not break open blisters because it makes the skin more prone to infection.   http://www.zetatalk.com/health/theal04j.htm

You can buy a disc scratch polisher/cleaner system. If the burns aren't too deep, it will polish them off along with scratches.

Pure aloe. Also any type of burn relief used for sunburn, it has lidocaine in it for the pain and will help it stay clean. You can cover it with a bandaid to ensure that it stays clean. Don't put butter on it, that just adds fuel to the fire, so to speak. Toothpaste also helps (just make sure it isn't cinnamon flavored. Sensodyne is the best to use for burns, bites, and the itching since it is for sensitive teeth).

First off I hope your OK. Second, you really should never use ice to cool down a burn. You can "burn" yourself just as bad by using ice.(frostbite). Its too late now, but as soon as you realize you are burnt you should run cool, to cold water over the burn. This will remove the heat. If you don't remove the heat, you will just continue to cook. Once it has cooled off, and you believe it will just be a minot burn, redness or a slight blister, aply aloe. If it will become a bad blister or the blister breaks, you really should get it checked out by a doctor. You can get infected very easily if it is not taken care of properly.

Clean the wound out thoroughly, and I mean CLEAN. Get in there, scrub out the wound.\n\nOnce the wound is clean, apply a liberal amount of antiseptic cream, something like Neosporin. Then cover the wound with a non-stick gauze dressing. Tape it in place, or cover it with elastic netting that you can get at your local surgical supply store. Clean and redress the wound 2-3 times a day.\n\n-or-\n\nOnce the wound is clean, apply the neosporin and cover the wound with Tegaderm. It's a unique sort of dressing that completely seals off the wound, yet allows it to breathe. If applied correctly, you can go for days without changing the bandage (and you can even take a shower with it on).\n\nOnce your wound has completely healed, you can use vitamin b gel to help minimize the scarring.

The very first step is to stop the heat. Do this by submerging the burned area in cold water as fast as you can. If it is on a part of the body that you cannot submerge, then immediately pour cold water over the area several times or rinse the area under a faucet or shower. Remove any clothing that is covering the area, then poor some more water onto the burn. Be careful not to pull a still-hot shirt over the head as this may burn the face. Getting cold water onto the area as fast as possible is the single most important factor in minimizing the burn damage. \nDo not use ice. This can cause cold damage to the skin, which may make the burn worse. \nThe next step is to continue the cold water for at least 20 minutes. Submerging the burn is best, but if you cannot, then either run it under cold water or apply cold water-soaked washcloths repeatedly. \nDo not put any butter, grease, or powder on the burn. \n\nAFTER THE INITIAL 20 MINUTES OF COLD WATER, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?\nPain relief. Give yourself a dose of ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil). This will both help the pain and decrease the inflammation. \nAssess the burn. There are several degrees of burn. \nFirst degree burns. This is simply redness, with no blistering. This type of burn never leaves a scar if properly treated. \nSecond degree burns. This is redness with blistering of the skin and is usually the most painful type on burn. With proper treatment, this type of burn almost never leaves a scar. NEVER pop the blisters. \nThird degree burns. This occurs when many layers of skin are actually burned away. Usually there is no blister because all the top layers of skin are gone. This burn usually does leave a scar, even with proper treatment.\n\nFacial burns. These almost always warrant a call to your doctor right away, unless it involves a very small area, such as the size of a quarter or smaller. \n\nFirst degree burns. For this type of burn, you do not need any prescription cream. You also do not need to use an antibiotic cream. One of the best treatments is aloe vera. Buy a bottle of green 100% aloe gel and apply several times a day. Be sure to buy 100% aloe. Some bottles will say, "made with pure aloe", but only contain 10% aloe. Read the ingredients. It should basically only say aloe. You can also use the juice from the leaf of an aloe plant if you have one. \n\nSecond degree burns. Treating this type of burn is more complex. You should check with your doctor about how to treat your second-degree burns. Here are some general guidelines that we recommend. Twice a day do the following: \nRinse the area with comfortable temperature water. Use a sink or bathtub faucet. The stream of water will remove germs, dead skin, and debris. \nAir dry. \nApply prescription burn cream called Silvadene (the generic equivalent is silver sulfadiazine). This is an antibiotic cream that also has excellent healing properties. This is an important part of burn treatment because it is very effective at preventing infection. You need to apply it aseptically; buy a package of sterile tongue depressors to use. Use a lot of cream, as if you were icing a cake. When you change the bandage, if all the cream is worn off or soaked in, then you didn't use enough. Silvadene contains silver, and you will notice a dark "tarnish" discoloration on the bandages. \nCover with a bandage. Your doctor may recommend a specific type of bandage. Typically a non-stick pad is placed over the cream (one brand name is Telfa), than a gauze is taped or wrapped around the area. \nStretch. If the burn is on an area of the body that stretches or pulls a lot (such as the palm of the hand or palm side of the fingers), the burned skin is at risk of healing too tight. This is called a contracture. In this type of area, it is very important to stretch this skin around ten times a day for one minute. \nCut away the blister – after the blister pops on it's own. Your doctor may cut the dead blistered skin away

Don't laugh, but a good home remedy is...\nBoil water (relax, your tender spots won't get anywhere near it)..\nSteep several tea bags in it for 10-15 min.\nCOOL TEA MIXTURE COMPLETELY.\nSoak a cloth/towel in the tea, and apply to burn (use a towel you don't care about - it's gonna stain it). \nThe tannins in the tea help take the sting out of the burn.

First run cold water over it or put ice on. This will numb it a bit. then you can put some numbing cream or gel on if you want maximum releif. You can also put on the gel that goes on sunburns. That works really well.

I assume we're talking about a minor burn and not a 3rd degree, right?\n\nCold running water for 10 minutes or until it stops hurting.\n\nI'm going to disagree with above poster about letting it "breathe".  If I were you, I'd keep anti-biotic cream on it and keep it bandaged.  Infection equals scaring.

With warm compresses and soaking it in warm water. It will burst with repeated soakings. When it starts draining, wash it with an antibacterial soap until all the pus is gone, and apply antibacteria ointment and a bandage. Wash the area 2-3 times daily and use warm compresses until the wound heals. Never pop the boil with a needle because it can make the infection worse. The best prevention is good hygiene. Good luck!

First assess the damage.  Is it just a little red mark?  Put it under cool running water, put a moist bandage over it (loosely), and that's all that's needed.  If you have aloe vera or burn spray, use that before bandaging.\n\nIs it blistered and/or seeping fluids?  Or is it white or charred?  Put a dry bandage over it (again, not tight) and take her to the ER.  If you aren't old enough to drive and there's no one who can drive you, then call an ambulance.
