Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
If the burn is deep you should seek medical care.
If they are not deep you should apply ice over them. Moreover you can put your hands in ice cold water for sometime.
There are usually chances of secondary infection over there. So I would advise you to apply Silver Sulfadiazine cream over there commonly available in market as Silvrex cream or gel.
I won't advise you any other home remedy as they can further irritation and scarring.
Apply ice and Silvrex cream.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
