    A healing tattoo and a mild burn are pretty similar wounds so I treat them the same. Wash a few times a day for the first few days with fragrance-free soap and put a bit of fragrance-free lotion on it to keep it moisturized.

    Obviously that is not a treatment you want to use for serious burns but for mild ones it works just fine. Simple treatment is best, IMHO.

    depends how big it is, I got oil burn over my face when I was cooking the bloody thing exploded, I was covered and I rinsed my face with cold water for 10 mins and I had red splodges every where so my huby told me to put toothpaste on it for a day and low and behold I didn't have 1 scar!

    I'm not sure that vinegar is a very good idea

    I would say any type of emollient cream or something like sudocrem!
