    If it's only a minor burn (painful but only surface is burnt) You need to run it under a cold tap for at least 5 minutes at a time. Be sure to not let the area go numb though.

    If you have burnt your forehead, don't worry too much about being a little late for school. You need to look after your health. If it is painful you need to run it under a tap until the burning sensation stops (5 minutes minimum), then stop running it, if the burning returns then run it again. The skin will turn tender but it should stop burning

    Yes, when you get a burn you should apply cool water immediately to stop the burning. You can also apply a washcloth or towel soaked in cool water on it. Aloe Vera gel is great for healing minor burns. You may want to treat the burn with aloe for a few days.
