When I get a minor burn......which luckily most of mine are,I get some cold water on it as soon as possible.
I don't worry so much about infection, unless the area around a burn begins to appear red.
I,ll use whatever'burn cream' that might be around the house.....I,m not that picky.
The 'medicated' Raleigh brand salve........the light brown colored one is pretty effective on burns.
If a burn is on a finger or my hand(especially if in an area that must flex), I try to keep some salve or ointment on the burn for a day or so to keep the burn area and surrounding skin soft and pliable. Seems to help with the soreness.
Plain white medical tape works fairly well and stays in place better than bandaids.
Have you noticed that.........you burn your finger,cool it in some water, and you think
"Tlhis isn't so bad".......You go back to work.......and the first time you get your new burn near anything hot.....*OUCH!* It's just like getting burned all over again.
Exposed nerve endings I suppose.
