Just something I picked up from volunteering in the ER:
If you get a bad burn put toothpaste on it. I overheard the doctors discussing the topic, and they had a pretty lively debate on which kind works best, but they finally settled on non-whitening.
Being a naturally clumsy person, I've burned myself a few times and I can say that it really works. Once I was pouring tea out of the pot into a cup and I spilled some over the edge and on my hand. The steam and hot water even got between my fingers. Luckily I had a whole tube of toothpaste on hand and put a layer on over my burns.
I swear it saved me from blisters. So try it sometime, and let me know how it works out for you.
