Home remedys for minor burns?

I just burned the inside of two of my fingers (pointer %26 middle) Not bad enough to go to the doctor I don't think. Just hurts like hell...
Answer:
Once you've iced it, keep it moist, covered, and elevated. Vaseline works great to keep the area moist. Moisture hastens the healing process. Blistering is a defensive mechanism the body uses to cushion and protect wounds. Do not drain the blister. Covering the burn will both help to keep the area moist and protect against infection. Keeping your hand elevated above your heart will reduce swelling and ease pain.You should get some antibacterial ointment (Neosporin, Betadyn, etc.) and waterproof bandages to continue treatment.The blister will likely pop after a few days, which should be fine.Avoid things like butter or other food items, as they can contribute to bacterial infection.
quit smoking
Put white vinager on it, it will take the sting away on contact...and if you don't have vinager try dill pickles. I know it sounds crazy, but it works.
aloe vera is the next best thing.
There is an ointmnet called RMA by Vibrant Health(I think that is the name). It is great for cuts, burns, scars %26 stretchmarks.
aloe vera..a plant works ok or many ladies creams have aloe in them ...its the best
Cut an aloe vera leaf and squeeze juice on it.
mustard
baking soda and water- make a paste out of it -should help.
White vinegar or aloe vera even butter works !!
aloe
Here are some Facts :After a burn, the very first thing that you should do is to reduce the temperature of the burnt area. Put lots of chilled water or dip that body part into chilled water for 15 to 30 minutes. Apply honey to the wound once you have washed the wound properly. It will prevent infection and will heal the wound. Papaya contains enzymes that help to remove dead cells from the wound. Aloe Vera is good for treating burns. Cut some fresh aloe Vera leaves and put it on the burnt area.Once the wound starts healing, break a capsule of vitamin E and pour the liquid on it. This will prevent scarring. Applying lavender oil is also found to be effective for burns. Diet plays a very important role in the healing process. To speed up the recovery, burns patients must consume a high protein and calorie diet. Skin burn causes a loss of substantial percentage of micronutrients, such as copper, selenium, and zinc. This slows the healing process and also increases the risk of infection. Some of the vitamins important for the recovery are Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Glutamine, Arginine, copper, zinc, Selenium etc.
