Aloe Vera works well for healing.  For the pain, we used to put a little toothpaste on it, it works well.

believe it or not if the burn is a small and not blistered.....you can use mustard!!!  I used to work at a corn dog place and I used to burn myself ALL the time!!!  Just make sure that the mustard is cold!!!  And also that it isn't serious if it is go to the Dr.!!!

ICE--first ice (in a plastic bag wrapped in a towel) the burn.  Then apply aloe vera sap.  If you don't have an aloe plant, you can use aloe vera extract/gel from the pharmacy.\nUse more ice, if it still hurts.

the only thing that should be applied to a burn that is over the counter is aloe vera gel.\n\nif the burn is blistering then you'll need to get in to see your dr so he can give you silvadene. it's a special zinc-oxide based cream that helps protect the burn from infection but also allows it to breathe which helps it heal faster. it's only available by prescription\n\nwash the burn well with mild soap and cool water. apply the aloe vera gel (you can chill it in the fridge to help soothe the burn). don't cover it unless it's in a location where clothing will rub up against it-in this case, cover it with a small gauze square to prevent the aloe vera gel from rubbing off and to also prevent the clothing from irritating the burn itself.\n\nfor pain you can take ibuprofen. take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.\n\nwatch the burn closely for the following things\n\n-increased redness or swelling\n-the burn opens and/or begins to drain liquid (pus)\n-you begin to run a fever of 101.0 or higher\n\nthese are signs that the burn is infected and you'll need antibiotics to treat it

Never put anything on a burn except cold water.  Baking soda, ice etc all trap the heat in more and can make the burn worse.  Run it under cold water for 15 min. If it starts to blister, try not to pop it, as it will allow for infection to get in.  If the blister does open, you may want to put some antibiotic cream on it with a bandaid.  God Bless

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.

Aloe. Try a lotion that is mostly aloe. I had a really bad sunburn, REALLY bad from head to toe when I was 14, kept me up for like 2 days straight. Didn't get any relief until I put aloe all over my body. Instant relief and it went away and healed SO quick I was amazed. Buy an aloe plant too. They are good for when you get a burn on your finger or a cut, you can break the leave in half and inside it's full of pure aloe, and it's pretty cool. It has pretty cool healing powers.

You can go to a doc.  and have it either frozen off or burned off.  In either case, that will hurt like hell at first, be uncomforatable for awhile, then feel better later.

Use an antacid such as Tums or Rolaids.\nThis will neutralize the acid in your stomach and relieve the burn that the acid is causing.

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.

Cold water first -- NO OIL OR BUTTER OR GREASE (this makes it worse). Then put aloe vera (straight from the plant, if possible) and be careful not to bandage it (if it sticks to a burn, you have an even larger problem).

Run cold water over it until it stops burning.\n\nDo not put anything greasy on it (vaseline, neosporin, butter, etc.) because it will suffocate the burn and may make it worse.\n\nLeave it uncovered, and if a blister forms, do NOT pop it.  The blister is there to protect the damaged skin.\n\nIf it is larger than a quarter, seek professional medical help.

If you are willing to do it, buy some ginger root cut it up and smash it with a heavy pan, tie it up in cheese cloth or a clean rag. Put it in a pot of water and let it heat up, just when you see bubbles form like its about to boil turn the stove off, you don't want it to boil. Then take two clean rags leave one dry and dip the other into the water. Place the hot rag over the dry one so you can still feel the heat from the rag but not on your naked skin.Keep doing that till you get relief

Definitely stretching is the key to lose the burn. Also be sure to hydrate yourself before taking off.

Believe it or not, even in med school, they tell you to urinate on the sting if nothing else is available. Vinegar will also help neutralize the sting.\n\nAfter that, Benedryl and applying ice to the area will help with the inflammation. \n\nI commend you for thinking of putting together a first aide kit for your outing. Most people wait until after something happens before they even think about putting together a kit!
