First Ice: First, apply ice to get out the heat. You could apply aloe vera, but the most effective treatment would be a prescription of silvadene (silver sulfadiazine). A proper dressing of silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) will not only be anti-bacterial, but will cool the burn pain. Perhaps even a little Hydrocortisone cream and advil from the store will help with the pain and inflammation.
