Aloe Vera works very well on burns and is sensitive on the skin- don't put any lotion or anything on the burn as that will irritate it even more.

first you should run your hand under cold water and then clean the wound.  If there are blisters, don't pop them.  Any first aid cream or burn cream will do (cream not ointment is best as it allows air to flow and is water based vs petroleum based.)  aloe works well if the skin isn't broken as does Honey  - yep that's what I said - Honey.  It has an anesthetic property to it and really does promote healing of burns (if the skin isn't broken)  If you have blisters its okay to use honey or aloe as well.  wrap you fingers with a non stick bandage and wrap them in gauze-  or you can use large fingertip band-aids if you have them available.  change the bandage every day for at least 3 days then you can let the fingers air...they should feel better by then.\n\nIf the skin is burned beyond blistering, you should see a doctor and get his advice.  3rd degree burns can get infected quite easily.  (there usually isn't any bleeding with a burn)

As soon as possible after you realize you're badly burned (that evening) cool the skin- ice, cold compress, ANYTHING to cool the temperature of your skin. Your skin has spent all day absorbing heat, and you need to remove that heat as soon as possible and as quickly as possible.\n\nAfter the skin is cooled, there are a lot of different options- lanacane sprays (nice, because they don't require actually touching the skin), aloe or vitamin e ointments and gels, etc.\n\nBe careful if/when you apply ointments, because if your skin develops blisters, you don't want to burst them prematurely.\n\nAvoid wearing clothing on that skin whenever possible- in the evening after work, etc. That clothing can continue rubbing and irritating the sensitive burned skin. Clothing can also burst blisters.\n\nI would also strongly recommend preventing future burns- sunblock!!! wear a t-shirt over your swimsuit, etc...

cold water for minor burns followed by any burn oinment.\n\nyou don't say how big and if it's blistered or not. If it's badly blistered or the skin has come off, go to the doctor now.

Duct tape.\n\n\n\nReally, though ... go to your local grocery store/pharmacy and you can buy clear medical tape that will stick and be strong like duct tape, but lets your skin breathe and will come off without pain.

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

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

I worked in a steel foundry for 5 years and I got burnt many, many times.  You can hardly see any of them now, but they still hurt me when the sun hits them.  On most of the minor burns, I just used a strong vitamin E cream, from the pharmacy.  Around 10,000-25,0000 UI.  For, the bad burns, I used Silver Sulfadiazine Cream .  This is the best and only prescription burn cream out there.  You have to get it from your doctor.  Its sometimes called Dermazin.  For the most part though, it was time that healed the wounds.  It's amazing what the body can do.  Be patient.  Sometimes it takes a few years, but two or three years really isn't that long.  Best or luck.

I'd say it depends on how badly burnt you got.  Get some aloe vera gel to cool the skin and and help it heal.  then get wheatgerm oil to rehydrate the skin.

Lots and lots of ideas for aloe here, I will tell you the sure fire way to put out the fire in your sun burn. You need skin MOISTURIZER. You can get this in AVON RICH MOISTURIZER or go to Walgreens and pick up a tub of THERAPEUTIC MOISTERIZER CREAM.  This will relax the pull on your skin that is caused by a sun burn, it may even keep you from peeling. Most contain aloe, but even if it doesn't, it will definitely fix your sunburn. Sunburn dries and shrinks skin tissue, the moisturizer reverses that. I say this from personal experience and treating my family's sunburns.

i found this article.. hope this can help:\n\nTreating a sunburn quickly and with healing ingredients is important to help reduce the damage and to protect against further damage. \n\nHealing Sunburn Treatments \n\nAloe Vera Gel \nFor sunburn there is nothing better than aloe vera gel; it is antibacterial and deeply healing for burns in part because of aloectin B, which stimulates the immune system. Aloe vera gel is used in hospitals for burn victims. Aloe Vera comes from the aloe vera plant, and the gel may be squeezed from its leaves, or you can buy pure aloe vera gel as a product in most health food stores. \n\nVitamin E Cream\nOne of the antioxidants, vitamin E creams, ointments and oils, can help heal sunburn damage and shorten its effects. \n\nIncrease Your Vitamin C \nAnother antioxidant, increasing your vitamin C intake while sunburned will help you heal. \n\nBlack Tea Sunburn Soother \nThe tannins in cool black tea will help sooth a sunburn. \n\nBaking Soda Bath\nHave a cool bath to which 1/2 a cup of baking soda has been added. \n\nCalendula Creams\nCalendula is one of the most healing plants. The flowers are emollient, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiviral. They are immune system stimulants and rich in carotenoids. Look in your health food store for calendula creams and ointments. \n\nAvoid Petroleum jelly, as it will hold in the heat. \n\n..and oh, drink lots of water!

Like most things, an important detail is *approach*—the LEAST painful way to accomplish ANY painful thing is to MINIMIZE your EXPOSURE to the painful aspect! ;)\n\nTo put out the candle with your fingers, bring them in from BELOW the flame, be SURE they are WET (WETTER the BETTER), and then *POOF* SNIP out the FLAME! :)\n\nYes, it might sting a bit, but given that actual "burns" are typically measured in FIRST, SECOND and THIRD DEGREE (the WORST of the three levels, this is when the NERVE has been burned through) based upon actual DAMAGE to the skin, all you will receive from snipping off a CANDLE—using the proper technique—is a mere MILD SINGE! ;)\n\nBest wishes.
