Cold water for at least 20 minutes after the burn occurs then 10
minutes on / off until the pain subsides, apply an antibiotic cream
(such as Neosporin or Polysporin), if the skin is broken apply a gauze
dressing lightly to keep it clean otherwise it does not need to be
dressed. Do not break any blisters that form, take an OTC painkiller
(ASA, ibubrofen, acetaminophen) for the pin.
