Type of burn?: Don't know what kind of burn you have or over how large an area it is. if this is a superficial burn (not 3rd degree) consider breaking off pieces of aloe vera plant and gently rubbing the gel inside the leaves onto your skin. An NSAID may also help with pain.

Topical lidocaine: I agree with w=earlier aloe Vera, but lidocaine is available as an ointment and a patch, and may be very helpful as topical pain reliever. Please ensure that you have not become infected, as the skin barrier is incompetent during healing. That would require topical antibiotics at least, and may need orals as well. Good luck
