*The burn can be cooled by running cool water over the afflicted area for approximately five minutes. Continue running water over the burn until the pain subsides.
* Place a cold compress on the burn blisters. If you still experience pain from the burn, or cool water is not readily available, place a paper towel over your burn and put a cold compress on top. Do not treat the burn directly with ice, as it can further damage the very sensitive burned skin.
* Wrap the afflicted area in a sterile gauze bandage. The bandage will keep the burn from getting infected and keep dirt out of the area. Gently wrap the sterile gauze around the area and hold in place with medical tape.
