Aloe Vera gel can be purchased at your local pharmacy, also apply white or cider vinegar to a soft cloth and gently pat the area, it stings at first but will stop the "burn' from blistering!. Staying in a cool bath for a few minutes also will help to sooth the skin!. Keep the burn area moisturized or it will peel! The best thing for that is see if you can get a hold of some Vitamin E capsules!. Break em open and put it on as thick as you can the first few days!. E will also help the skin repair itself too, and you can take a couple capsules (250 IEU's) for the rest of your skin too!
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
