Speaking from the point of view of an EMT, which I am, there are many ways to heal minor injuries without immediate medical treatment from a doctor. Anything from MINOR cuts to burns can be healed very easily if treated appropriately. Small cuts can obviously be healed with a band-aid or something to that degree and a little bit of a healing ointment, like a first aid creme which can be bought at almost any store. Burns need to be treated a little more seriously because many times people aren't sure how serious their injuries really are. 1st degree burns from heat or steam can normally be treated just by running cold water over the area as soon as the burn happens and then covering it with a band-aid or some gauze. You should be very careful about putting cremes and ointments on burns because it will agitate them many times. I hope that this may help you, it was kinda brief and doesn't give much information. If you could be a little more specific in your question as to say what kind of minor injuries I might be able to help you a little more.
The only "carbon dioxide burns" I am familiar with are those from handling dry ice. As such they are equivalent to "frostbite", i.e. they are a result of freezing tissue. They should be treated like frostbite. Very mild "burns" can be treated by gently warming the affected area and then bandaging it. More severe "burns" need a doctor's attention.
