What is the best cream to put on a burn?

Antibacterial: It depends on the degree of the burn. For first degree burns and mild sunburns, where only red, painful skin is present without blistering, aloe or aloe with Lidocaine may be helpful. You could also use prescription silvadene (silver sulfadiazine). For second degree burns covering small surface areas, silvadene (silver sulfadiazine), bactroban, and Bacitracin are all good. For larger burns, seek medical care.
