ice
Minor burns, use Aloe Vera 100% gel. or Aloe Vera Plant, break off a leaf cut with sharp knife when open scrape out the gel and apply on fingers. Reapply as often as needed. Other then minor burn go to ER promptly
Ice or cold running water
Aloe Vera, neosporin(to prevent infection) & butter (it helps take the "sting" out
you can use toothpaste (mint) to numb the pain, but you would need some ointment to treat it
Hold fingers under cool runing water. Do Not use ice, butter or any of the other old wives tale remadies. The cool water should stop the burning process. If blisters begin to for form, you should probably go to the ER. 1st degree burn leaves skin red and irritated. 2nd degree burn leaves blisters and hurts like hell. Go To ER Now. 3rd degree burn goes clear to muscle/bone with edges looking like 2nd deg. Pain is severe around edges where nerve endings are screaming. No or very little pain in deepest part because nerve endings have been burnt away.
Hope this helps.
