I've had it on an ice pack since (well over an hour) and it still really burns when I take it off the ice pack. I'm finally seeing some white patches which I'm assuming are blisters. This is just on a couple of fingers - not a huge area. (Oh, I really feel for people that have major burns!!!!) Other than keeping it cold for a while more, and clean (it isn't like the skin is open) - is there anything else to do? I've put aloe on it, and now lavender. Still really hurts! And of course it's on my right hand (I'm right handed)
I burnt the side of my hand last night making cookies for the hubby and put a ice pack, finally after about 1 hour and trying not to think about it, while quilting it finally stop stinging...

They are just little burns, so I couldnt think how it must feel when someone really gets burnt! My heart goes out to them.
