So joseph touched the hot stove when i was draining a pot of noodles out and has a burn on his hand, it doesnt look that bad but hes been crying and screaming since he did it. I dont know what to put on it to help with the pain or anything any one know anything? my friend told me neosporin but i dont think your supposed to use that on burns.

If you can get to an aloe plant, the juice is not toxic and has healing properties in it. Apply liberally to the burned area. I keep a bottle of aloe juice in the refreigerator and it is greeat for minor sunburns. Bless his little heart...I wish I could wave my wand and make him all better.

I realize I'm a little late, but cool running water and don't put anything on the burn. That's what we're instructed to do in case a patient burns their self. Then depending on how bad it is, you may need to take him in.

yeah i know i t urned around for a second to drain the water out and i heard a scream , somehow i figured out what he did and turned the cold water on and stuck his hand under it for a while.
He was saying hot and pointing everytime while the pot was still on there, i guess he assumed only the pot was hot and not hte oven itself, cuz the burners dont turn red really, only for a second when its on high then they get dark again and its all flat so sorta cant tell .
