tagi_65	First run it under tap water for about 2 minutes. Then put ice on it, but... don't put straight ice on it - put the ice in a towel, then dampen the towel with tap water. Then apply that to the burn. Ice can burn (hence frostbite) so you have to temper it a bit. Sorry you got hurt. DO NOT PUT BUTTER ON IT! That's an old wives tale and can actually make a burn worse. They have first aid burn ointments at the drug store. When you've kept the ice on for about 10 minutes, if it still hurts, go buy some. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

eatmyworld	Applying tooth paste to your burn also helps. Put a glop on like glue and the pain will subside. I'm not sure why but I guess the Menthol has to do with the it. I find this works better than cold water because you can't have the water running forever. Anyway, many people don't believe me when I tell them this but I'm serious. This works.
