This is an old home remedy that was told to our family by a doctor.
Put some water in a large pan and add a tablespoon of ordinary table salt. Bring to a boil and put a clean wash cloth in and continue to boil for 5 minutes. With forks, lift the very hot wash cloth out of the pan and let it drip and cool off some. While it is still hot, but not hot enough to burn your skin, place the washcloth over your burn and hold in place with a hand towel. Leave it on the area for 20 minutes. Do this at least 2 times a day; always with new salt water and a new clean washcloth.
Salt water helps with healing.
My sister fell off her bike onto the asphalt and got an "asphalt burn" over one side of her face. We used this remedy and she healed up quickly and has no scaring.

It is a chemical burn and should be treated as such. Do not cover with a bandage unless the doctor tells you to. Go see the doctor and s/he will evaluate the situation and prescribe medication if needed. Never ever mix bleach with anything and never apply strong chemicals to your skin. You should be OK with the aloe vera gel and keep the area clean.

Well, it was a very bad thing to mix lemon with bleach, the result was that the acidic properties (acetic acid) of the lemon reacted with the hydrogen peroxide in the bleach and gave u an acid burn. The first thing i would suggest is for you to leave the wound/ burn open and not bandage it. And secondl wait for a few days, like 4-5 days before you start trying any treatment on it. And yes, baby rash cream will work, but try it only agter a week from now.
