Answers:
Don't put anything on it that will block out the air!. Petroleum based products, butter will make the burn continue to feel like it's burning!. Honey seems like it would be too thick!.
Aloe is good!. If it does blister, DON'T pop the blister! It's a natural barrier to protect from infection!.
If you have hydrocortisone cream, use that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't put anything on it!. Putting an ointment on a burn is actually a bad idea!. The ointment holds the heat in!. The best thing for a burn would be to run some cool water on it or just leave it alone!. It probably won't leave a scar but if your really concerned after a day or so put some vitamin E on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

like nolsdad said no ointment, it holds the heat in!. If you feel you need to apply something, use cremes!.
try a burn creme anything that will soothe a sunburn will help here!.
Be careful though if it blisters!. Being on the ear it stands a good chance of infection from hair products, ie: hairspray, gels!. Keep it cleanWww@Answer-Health@Com

Put toothpaste! It helps a lot! Seriously, my doctor told me to do so , when I burned my finger while do the ironing!. There are also creams in your pharmacy!.!.!.ask your pharmacist to help you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
