it depends on the type of burn you are treating. You can treat food burns (like, when you eat really spicy curry) by drinking a bit of milk and keeping it on your tongue.

A sun bun or any other first-type burns like when you accidentally touch something hot, can be treated by putting the burnt skin in cool water.

2-degree burns (when you get blisters and your skin swells up) need very cold water on them (to make the skin numb) You have to stop the air from getting to the skin or it hurts. You'll still need medical help for it.

3-degree burns (really bad) - you can't do much here. Just get help immediately. To stop the danger if the skin swells, remove any jewelery or tight clothing (it doesnt matter if its near the burn or not, just get it off)

hope this helps
