How should a minor burn to the hand be treated?

To treat a minor burn on the hand, first cool the affected area by running it under lukewarm water for 10-20 minutes. Avoid using ice, as it can further damage the skin. After cooling, gently pat the area dry and apply a sterile, non-stick bandage or gauze. Over-the-counter pain relief and moisturizing ointments may also help, but avoid applying ice or butter directly to the burn. If blisters develop or if the burn worsens, seek medical attention.
