DETAILS????: How large a burn? Exactly where? Blisters? Pain? Duration? Which "antibacterial" cream? If you have bacitracin, neosporin, or triple antibiotic THROW IT AWAY!! These are useless and a common cause of allergic reactions. In general, mild burns respond to cool water and lubrication with vaseline or Aquaphor.
