Minor burn

For a small burn, blistery kind you get from touching a hot baking sheet or flatiron, not a burn that covers a large area of your skin or is peeling off. Run the affected skin under cool water and pop some ibuprofen, which will help with inflammation and pain. Next, apply one percent hydrocortisone cream or aloe gel. Dabbing a washcloth soaked in cold whole milk on the burn also works great. The combination of fat and protein in the milk is very soothing. Then cover the burn with a bandage.
