Burn Therapy: Apply a fatty ointment to the affected area. According to the american journal of dermatology, the application of such fatty ointments can limit scar tissue growth because the ointment penetrates easily into the surrounding tissue and a fatty milieu around the scar limits non-infectious inflammation and irritation by allowing the scar tissue to be shed in layers and replaced by healthier skin.

Healing rates: The key to rapid healing is to avoid things that slow it down. The area should be protected from the air and from trauma, minimize stressed to the area by putting it at rest if possible. Avoid medicines that slow down healing like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Depending on the size and extent of the burn, it may heal by that time.
