What to do to help a burn heal?

Clean: Keep it clean. If there is an intact blister, keep it that way to act as a covering. See your doctor for medications that will help in healing. Any large burns ought to be evaluated.

Keep clean and dry: Minor burns may not need much at all--keep clean and dry is mostly what you need to do. You can't speed up healing--that is your natural ability. U heal faster when u r young and still growing. As u get older, this slows down. If burn is area subjects to much movement/stretching i.e. Elbows, knees, lower sides of body, u may want to use some ointment/lubrication to minmize cracking. Good luck.
