Ouch !!!: It hurts just to read your question. Aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) can reduce redness, pain, itching & swelling from a burn. It has anesthetic, anti-inflammatory & antibacterial / antifungal qualities. Pain killers such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications or acetominophen can also be helpful. Hydrate well with water.
