You should never use lotions or oitments or butters or anything like that on a burn of any sort. If it is a first degree, or relatively minor burn, you can apply aloe vera on, which is a cooling gel, but if there is any blistering, or if the skin looks charred, then you need to either call 911 or you need to visit the local hospital before you apply anything to it. Also, if the burn appears that it is infected, then you also will need to call either 911 or visit your local hospital.

∙ 10y agoIt is often not good practice to use ointment on a burn as burns should be kept clean and dry. Burns should immediately be held under running cold water to stop the heat penetrating into the flesh. After a while the area can be gently dried and loosely wrapped in clean dry gauze.
