Sheesh.
Water is NOT a proper burn treatment.
Get yourself some Aloe Vera. Apply it to the burn (gently). Do this whenever the burn starts to bother you. Not only will the aloe vera sooth the burn, but it'll speed the healing process and it should help you avoid blistering.
Wrong type of burn. If it was a solar radiation (ultra violet) burn yes aloe vera would work. But not for a contact burn/scalds. It will only irritate the skin. So yes, WATER IS a treatment in this case. In fact, the only thing you should put on it it is anti-basterical ointment because it is a contact burn.
On another note, I suggest taking First aid classes, they work wonders sometimes.
