Gently apply a cool moist compress to the burn for at least 5 minutes.

Dry the burn gently by patting, not rubbing. Apply aloe vera gel or a soothing burn gel to the area. Burn Jel is a product made especially for burns that contains lidocaine to reduce pain.

Apply a clean, loose dressing to keep the burn covered during the healing process. Do not wrap the burn tightly.

Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce pain and swelling.

Call your doctor if you notice any severe redness or streaking.
