What can I do about my burn?

what you have is a second degree burned. when it happened, hopefully you ran cold water under it right away. and kept it covered with a sterile dressing/bandage. if that happens again, do that, and make sure you do not tightly bandage it with a sterile dressing, just enough to keep air from getting through. As for the cold water, this eases the burn and controls the swelling. Stop using aloe vera for it is something that can have a tendency to seal in the heat and further keep it from healing. all you have to do is lightly cover it and don't touch it unless you're changing your dressing and bandage. what you see now may be a soft and bubbly type of scab. this is totally normal. This is the blister. do not play with it, and do not pick at it. just allow the blister to burst on its own. All in all, it takes about 3-4 weeks to heal
