To help with the pain and prevent infection, you can clean the area gently with mild soap and water, then apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage to protect it. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation.

If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please seek medical attention.
