No, you can not put a cotton on a burn wound. This is because the cotton can easily get stuck on the wound and become very difficult when removing it.

What do you do when treating any type of burn victim?
First thing you should do is pour cold water or place the burn wound area under a running tap water for sometime. You can even use chilled water from the fridge for better results. So the burn wound does not blister and the victim gets a lot of burn pain relief. After sometime absorb the water on the wound mildly with a dry towel. But don't wipe the wound harshly as the skin is tender and may peel off. Apply burnt ointment and keep it free from dust. Do not bandage and let the wound be kept opened. If the burn wound is not very severe it would dry gradually or else you would have to seek medical help.
