OUCH! The best thing to put on it is honey. It might sound funny, but the way honey makes the burning sensation go away is amazing. I have burned my hand MANY times, and when I don't put honey on it, it takes weeks to heal and leaves a mark behind for years. When I do put honey, the pain is decreased by 50%-90%, depending how long I leave it on, and it heals much faster, and also prevents a scar from remaining behind. Just rub honey on the wound and wrap a clothe around it. Leave it on for several hours, then take it off and wash with cold water. Good luck and hope your hand feels better in no time!
