Run cool (not cold) water over the burned area (if water isn't available, any cold, drinkable fluid can be used) or hold a clean, cold compress on the burn for approximately 3 to 5 minutes (do not use ice, as it may cause the burn to take longer to heal).
acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain
If the area affected is small (the size of a quarter or smaller), keep the area clean and continue to use cool compresses and a loose dressing over the next 24 hours. You can also apply antibiotic cream two to three times a day, although this isn't absolutely necessary.
Depending on how bad it is (ie how large an area it covers), you should run it under cold water for a few minutes, then go to the emergency room. don't cover it, and don't put any creams or lotions on it. If it's not that bad, then just run it under cold water and put some burn lotion on it, and leave it uncovered, it should heal within a week.

And you are in Yahoo??? Go to a drugstore and get some cream for burning! When it becomes cold it will really hurt!
I would try putting tooth paste on it but if u have a cream use that first.
