text: what is a good home remedy for relief from a small burn from a frying pan? my girlfriend burned her knuckle on the frying pan while making grilled cheese. it is not a bad burn, very minor and is small, but is still very painful. looking for a good home remedy to help her. put her hand in ice ice ice cold water....it's painful at first but it's better in the long run. the scar wont be as bad. tell her to soak it as long as she can stand it...get the fever out. then put on any type of burn cream and a bandaid (preferably one that won't stick!) for a day or so...then leave it uncovered so it can begin to scab and heal.
