Aloe vera straight from the plant applied to the burn is best.You can also check your pharmacy for a spray with lidocaine in it. Cool water compresses may help. After the burn has settled down a little, use cocoa butter to help heal. Beware of aloe vera combinations that contain chemicals,& fragrances that may irritate. Aloe vera gel straight from the plant or food-grade aloevera is best (applied topically!) Good Luck!
