I burned my left index finger, top only, by spilling the spaghetti
water on it. Did NOT have any cloth in my hand, so the water ran
off right away, and I was already standing at the sink, so used the
recommended treatment of cold water on it for more than 5 minutes.

Spaghetti went down the disposal right away, so I missed dinner,
but my finger is not nearly as bad as it could have been.
Sorry yours is worse.

But aloe jel OR anything else is really NOT GOOD for most burns.
If a burn is bad enough for anything other than water, it's bad
enough to see a Doctor.
