Answers:
well i at least hope your mountain pies turned out good...if it was worth the burn...i would also suggest aloe vera it's the best for burns...but my oma (great grandma) once told me that if i ever burned myself i should put it under hot water instead of cold because the hot water will take the sting out.but personally i would go with the aloe vera...good luck and i hope eating delicious mountain pies will take your mind off of yucky burn...
try fresh aloe
try aloe vera...banana boat makes a great spray one!
try tooth paste
it works
If mountain pies are what I think they are, you're standing too close to the fire.
use flamazine cream an antibiotic,it will be cured too soon
soak a cloth in white vinegar and cover the blister. it will draw out the heat...
You have probably suffered a second degree burn and it will blister-DO NOT break it open. Try 100 % aloe vera juice on it. You can make a pack from toilet paper several layers thick soaked in aloe vera juice.LOOSELY wrap electrical tape or the wide cellophane shipping tape around the leg to hold it in place-just enough to hold the packing in place, not the whole packing. Add Aveno bath soap to your bath water. every once in a while dab witch hazel over the blister. All the above will dry out and heal the blister, If a scar forms, visit my newsletter at naturescorner.com for the scar remedy indexed

You might like to go to your local pharmacy and get some burn ointment to help make it stop burning so badly. Good Luck and I hope that it feels better soon.
cold water is the best/only first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap and no less. NEVER ice OR vinegar OR milk OR butter OR green tea OR mustard OR toothpaste OR sunscreen OR semen OR vaseline OR tomatoes OR vanilla extract OR yogurt OR sour cream OR egg white OR egg yellow OR lavender oil OR cocoa butter OR salt OR tea bags OR potato OR shaving cream OR olive oil OR baking soda OR banana peel OR petroleum jelly OR whipped cream OR avocado OR bacon grease OR corn starch OR turmeric OR lemon juice OR curd OR pickle juice OR soy sauce OR urine OR talcum powder OR mashed strawberries OR exfoliating scrub OR mayonnaise OR peroxide OR bleach OR deep heat OR ketchup OR red grapes OR hairspray- not until the skin is fully healed!
ibuprofen or aspirin will help but large burns are often accompanied by stomach ulcers, so tylenol/panadol is best for pain if you are gonna tough it out. drink plenty of water or energy drinks that don't have caffeine (gatorade)
i would advise that you cover the burnt area with white soft paraffin (white petroleum) or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent). wash the burn and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn. cling wrap alone is also ok if you can't get hold of any paraffin. it acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain.
aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.

finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons. serious sunburn i.e. blisters (and all other burns) should be seen by a burns trained doctor or nurse.
cut a onion and rub it on there gently.
