I burnt my finger quite badly whilst baking. Any tips on how to make the scar as faint as possible?

Aloe vera is the best thing you can put on your burn to aid it with healing and reducing the scar.

Soak it in cool water to ease the pain and just let it heal naturally; don't pop the blister(s) if you can help it.

Just keep it clean so it doesn't get infected. The broken blister will actually heal just as well as the unbroken blister would have. It takes a really long time for the skin to regenerate and didn't it hurt like hell? OMG I can't imagine those poor souls on the burn ward with large portions of their flesh burned to a crisp. The agony!

I stuck it under cold water but when I have done that in the past with other burns, I still scar. Will try ice next time :)

Rub it with aloe, preferably directly from the plant itself. I've always kept an Aloe plant handy for burns. Just break off a leaf, rub the goo that comes out onto your burn, and it feels better and seems to heal faster. Aloe is a pretty sturdy plant too, so even if you don't have a green thumb, it's pretty hard to kill it.
