What do i put on a hot water burn?

Cold water : As soon as possible for a good 20+ minutes. May need to seek medical assessment urgently after

First Aid + Cover: After 10-20mins of cold running water, covering the burn with a dressing to stop the air getting at it will help to reduce the pain. If the burn has caused blistering or has taken layers of skin off then you should have it assessed by a Dr. People often forget to take paracetamol +/- ibuprofen (or other home ain killers) for burn pain.

Hot water burn: A burn are 1st , 2nd or 3rd degree. Degree, size and location (over joints-as can scar and lead to decreased motion) are factors. 1st degree are like sunburns you can cool it down with cool water and place silver sulfadene on it. A 2nd degree blisters and can be significant if large and over joints. 3rd - is full till muscle if more than just a light sunburn go to urgent care or doc today

Burn: Following a burn or scald, make sure you and the affected person are safe from further burns or danger - then cool a burnt or scalded area immediately with water (preferably running cool water - not cold) for at least 20 minutes. http://patient.info/health/burns-and-scalds-leaflet
