Yes, 20 minutes: Yes, for up to 20 minutes. The most important question: is there just redness or is there blistering or is it pale and leathery? If only redness or blistering, applying an antibiotic ointment or aloe should be soothing. Leathery full thinness or 3rd degree burns require medical attention.
