If you have been burned with steam, it is important to first cool the affected area with cold water or a cold compress for at least 5 minutes. You can also take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain, and use aloe-based lotions to soothe the skin. Do not pop any blisters that form on the burn, as they are there to protect the skin and reduce the risk of infection.
