You could put butter on it.....that draws out the burn.
You could take a bath with Epsom Salts......or oatmeal.....or if you have any aloe in the house you could put that on it.

first dont rub the burned area -run very cold water over it -for as long as you can stand it -gently --apply a wet washcloth filled with ice directly on the burned area -burn cream -and gauze pads -dont apply the gauze pad dry-soak it down -so the skin wont stick to it -repeat the washcloth with ice -every couple of hours -AGAIN DONT RUB THE AREA- that will help to minimize scarring - take something for pain -like extra strength Tylenol -as long as your not allergic to it ---good luck

It depends if it is a small burn and isn't too serious of a burn I would say baking soda and cool water mixed together and let soak on the burn, anything more serious go see a doctor.

My grandmother always put lard or butter on it. I think it needs to be animal fat, not vegetable. My mother always used petroleum jelly, but not everyone keeps that available.

Good luck!

Clean the burn.
Cool it.
Apply antibiotic ointment or spray.
Keep it disinfected.
Call for medical help, since it's bubbling.

Unless its black, you can use ointment or first aid spray if you have it, and then use lukewarm, not cold, water and run it on the burn, after the worst of the pain is gone, wrap it up with a damp sheet, shirt, or washcloth

Eventually, though not immediately, you need to get to the hospital for better treatment.

Cold water. Keep it immersed for as long as you can. Don't put cream or butter on it - you'll just contaminate it.

It it's blistering you may have a severe burn and you should try to see a doctor asap.

Take care! Hope you get better quick!

For minor burns, including second-degree burns limited to an area no larger than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, take the following action:

Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least 5 minutes, or until the pain subsides. If this is impractical, immerse the burn in cold water or cool it with cold compresses. Cooling the burn reduces swelling by conducting heat away from the skin. Don't put ice on the burn.

Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage. Don't use fluffy cotton, which may irritate the skin. Wrap the gauze loosely to avoid putting pressure on burned skin. Bandaging keeps air off the burned skin, reduces pain and protects blistered skin.

Take an over-the-counter pain Reliever. These include Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), Naproxen (Aleve) or Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Never give Aspirin to children or teenagers.

Minor burns usually heal without further treatment. They may heal with pigment changes, meaning the healed area may be a different color from the surrounding skin. Watch for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If infection develops, seek medical help. Avoid re-injuring or tanning if the burns are less than a year old - doing so may cause more extensive pigmentation changes. Use Sunscreen on the area for at least a year.

CAUTION:
Don't use ice. Putting ice directly on a burn can cause frostbite, further damaging your skin.

Don't break blisters. Broken blisters are vulnerable to infection.

BE MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME!

You haven't mentioned how extensive it is or where it is. Anyway, i guess its not that bad as u have asked for home treatment. First, run it under plenty of cold water, that will ease the burning & pain sensasion. Don't disrupt the blister (bubbles as u said), as the covering is protective. If it is ruptured, wash the wound with normal Saline, dry it with a clean ball of cotton & apply gentamycin/Neomycin antibiotic ointment/cream(u can get those from any drug store) & cover it with a clean piece of cloth. Do it 4/6 times a day. Don't use egg, butter etc.(as traditionally popular), those attract bacteria. Take painkiller eg.Tylenol tablet if theres pain. Hope this helps.

The first thing you should do for a minor burn is to flush the burn with cold water for 15-20 minutes. Just use water from your sink, not ice water or ice, because this can make the burn feel worse.

Never use any food as a burn remedy. A common myth is to put butter on a burn. Putting butter or any other food on a burn can actually hold the heat in and make the burn fell worse. Putting food on burns is another great way to make the burn get infected.

Wrap the burn up with gauze or some other clean soft material. Do not mess with the burn for at least 24 hours so that it can begin the healing process.

its a bit late, you should get water on a burn straight away. Water still might make it feel better though, wrap it in a cool rag. not ice though.
