You cannot cure a steam burn but you can treat it. Immediately after the burn if it is minor, cool it with water, not cold but cool. DO NOT use ice. It is okay to coat the burned area with an antibiotic oinment such as Neosporin. You may use Aloe Vera gel, or vitamin E oil. If the burn is moderate or serious, seek medical attention immediately.

Why is a steam burn worse then a water burn?
A steam burn is generally more severe than a water burn because steam carries more heat energy than water due to its high temperature. Steam can cause more damage to the skin upon contact and penetrate deeper into the tissue, resulting in a more serious burn.

Why are steam burns on the skin so severe?
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
