Using those home remedies are extremely bad for your hand...DON'T DO IT. Cool compresses and a Dr. are the answer.

1st step: Run cold water, or ice it down immediately. Then wrap Ice in a towel or wash rag. Wet the outside of the rag and continue to hold it on the burn. This will help ease the pain tremendously. Periodically, make sure to remove it from the affected area. When doing this, you will also be able to tell the amount of pain reduction that you have. 2nd Step: If you have burn ointment, apply it. If you do not have any, the following if in your home, will help ease the pain as well as help the burn. ( Keep in mind if you have a splatter burn, or if it is over a large area, you may need to seek medical attention ) NOXEMA VASELINE ( Petroleum Jelly) Diaper Rash Cream ( With Zinc Oxide) A&D Ointment Neosporin Noxema: Yes, believe it or not, it does help. It will help take the pain out of the affected area as well. Vaseline is not as good at taking pain out of the area at first, but it eventually does. I have coated burns in this, then placed it back over the rag with ice in it. Makes a greasy mess, but works wonders. Basically, anything that you could use on a sunburn, or a burn on a baby's bottom, will work pretty well. But make sure to keep a close eye for any signs of infection, and if needed you may need to keep the area covered in gauze. Most importantly to avoid scarring, keep the area moist with the creams, etc. The bigger the burn the longer you keep it moist.
