DMSO: Apply DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide)--aka "Horse Liniment." It's available in a feed store or health food store. Apply it several times daily. Relieves pain, and will help the burn heal rapidly, without scarring.

Aloe: Try putting some aloe gel on it and then wrap it with gauze. It's a little challenging with a 10 month old because they usually mess with the bandage. If there are blisters or the burn is more than a small area, see a doctor for evaluation
