Immediately cool the burn with cool water. Afterward protect the area with gauze lightly applied.
do not apply any oils, lotions, or creams unless directed by doctor. do not break the blister. These actions can invite infection.
if the burn area is large, seek medical attention.

unlike every other wound, DO NOT COVER!!! =D
This will seal in the heat (even after it has cooled down) and prevent air flow to it.
unlike every other wound. coat it with a salve or aloe vera if you can, but other than that, bath it in water and try not to touch it.
clean in very warm, soapy water daily, even if it feels like your being burned all over again. burns are easily infected, as all your cells are weakened from the burn.

theres special cream you can put on it. otherwise just let it heal on its own.
