Put ice as soon as you can. I got a burn the other day on a finger while cooking and used ice on it all evening. It healed without any further need for anything.

∙ 15y agoNo! You should never put butter on a burn. It can cause a serious infection to start. The best treatment for a burn is to run the burnt area under cool running water for 15 minutes and then apply a post burn cream, or if not available then an antibiotic cream like polysporin or neosporin. If the burn covers a large area or is blistered or the skin has changed to any colour other than red, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

∙ 14y agoApplying butter to a burn is probably one of the worst things you can do. The best approach to a new burn is to first STOP the burning by cooling the area. For first and second degree burns, immersion in cool water will help stop burn damage and provide pain relief. Do not break any blisters you see. Never apply creams or butter to a fresh burn. For any burn over 10 percent of the body, which is about the size of the adult hand, medical attention should be sought.
