I wouldn't put any creams on it, just cold water.

Re: Please help....I burned my finger
I *think* that your not supposed to put ice directly on a burn, but really cold water instead. Maybe fill a bowl with cold water and just let it soak.

Re: Please help....I burned my finger
I got this from a home remedy website...
Including sunburn, brush burns, scrapes and chemical burns) Keep cool water with a little vinegar added in it on the area until the burning stops. The pain may last from four to six hours but continue using the compresses or soaking until you are relieved. If the burn doesn't blister, Aloe Vera gel, fluoride toothpaste or any soothing medicated cream should help. After 24 to 48 hours, if blistering has occurred, cut the blisters off and wash with povidone-iodine solution (Betadine). Coat during the day with either Betadine Cream or Neosporin, Honey, or Aloe Vera Gel, and at night apply the cream and cover area with a moist burn pad such as Second Skin which should be covered with a gauze pad. These water-impregnated bandages enhance burn healing.

Re: Please help....I burned my finger
next time you burn yourself, cut a tomato and put the cut side against your burn. it will take away the sting!
its a chefs secret!
