Registered Nurse here; First run cold water over the area for approximately 15 minutes, this will assist in cooling the area and prevent further burning. While running water over the area, have someones (if someone is with you), get you a couple of Tylenol, or ibuprofen. This will start to diminishes the pain as well. After running the cold water over area, apply light amount of ice, not a lot of ice for this will be to heavy and cause additional pain. When pain has subsided, apply light coating of butter to the area, this is strictly home remedy. Silva dine cream is the medication of choice for burns.You have my word as a professional nurse, applying butter will not cook your burn.
