Minor burns, which usually include first and second degree burns can be treated at home, if they involve only a small part of the body, not larger than a couple of inches. How to treat a minor burn?
Remove all kinds of jewelry surrounding the wound.
Soak the burn area in cool water for a couple of minutes. Don’t use ice. Cold water will help remove the heat and ease the pain.
Though it is common to use butter as first-aid remedy, it is not recommended to do so as it could cause permanent damage to the skin.
After cleaning the area, you should apply antibiotic ointment, and cover the wound with a bandage.
Taking an over the counter pain reliever can also help to ease the pain.
First and second degree burns can happen around the house or outside. They usually heal in a few days but you should always watch for infection, swelling or fever. Remember to get medical help if any side effects occur or if the burn is in a sensitive area such as hands, feet, gentiles, or joints.

When a burn occurs, seconds count. For second and third degree burns you should go for medical help. But for minor burns and first aid burn treatment I always keep a Water-Jel product available.
What does it do? Well, Water-Jel is designed to draw the heat out of a burn. As simple as that. The heat spreads over the whole gel surface and released into the air.
What is so special about Water-Jel products is that they are consistent with both wet and dry burn treatment since they stop the burning process, cool the burned area, relieve pain, prevent further injury and do not contribute to hypothermia.
