Answers:
keep it clean, dry and covered, if it shows signs of inflammation or infection consult a doctor or nurse, but hopefully it should soon start to mend. You could take a couple of painkillers to stop it hurting so much meanwhile.Health Question & Answer
I would recommend a product called Bactine. Its in a white bottle with a green cap, it usually runs about $7.00. Spray two to three times daily and let the product soak into skin (in other words, don't wipe it off, let it air dry) Don't wrap it, the moisture from your skin will only make it a longer healing process. In about 2-3 days you should see a dramatic improvement. Hope this helps!
Oh! and i dont recommend Neosporin while the burn is still this fresh, It harbors bactria. Wait until healing has started making improvments, then Spray with Bactine, after it has air dryed rub a Thin layer of Neosporin, This will help with preventing scars.Health Question & Answer

I would use neosporin or antibiotic cream to cover it and keep it from getting an infection. Keep it covered with that and a bandaid. I don't know about the hurting, but maybe some ice would help. The neosporin should work well and help it heal faster.
