Keep ice on it for like 15 minutes initially after the burn. It may hurt for a while, but the longer you keep ice on it, the less likely it will blister
First off, you really shouldn't have put ice on your burn. That makes your finger get even more swollen, which in fact, does bring the pain back.


What I recommend is putting a dab of toothpaste on the burn and wrapping it with a bandage. Sounds funky, I know, but trust me it works.


Hope this helps (:
aloe vera is terrific for it !!!! trust me ! u can get aloe vera cream ( or gell cream ...kinda looks like hair gell ) or lotion or ointment or even burn ointment at any drug store or wal-mart...and aloe vera cools it down and relieves it better than just ice ...but you can mix ice with it for a little while ...and maybe use a bandaid or wrap .


i used to even have a plant of aloe vera and all we did was tear of one of the stims and squeeze out the gooey juice and put it on ur burn and it feels really cool .awww.
Try putting some toothepaste, or put on some salt/stick it in salt water. Just in case you burn it again, or if you ever burn yourself again, don't EVER put it in cold water or ice. You may think you're helping it but you're really not.





I guess it'd be okay if its just a minor burn, but if it's a serious one that starts to have blisters and stuff get some burn cream and jsut let it heal naturally. Just remember to not put it in cold water or ice.
Call your local druggiest and see if they carry ';Butisen Picrate'; not sure of the spelling. Mom several years ago grabbed the working end of a hot curling iron. I grabbed it and applied and it never swelled or even got sore.
