Will anything take the redness out of burns?!

Apologies for all the health threads apparently I am falling apart!

I am a nightmare for burning myself on the oven (seriously I NEVER learn) and managed to burn myself three times within about three seconds on my hand when baking the other day.
It looks awful and just wondered if anyone had a magic remedy to calm the redness down a little bit!

Don't know so much about the redness but I swear by Burnshield Hydrogel (available on Amazon) for taking the pain out pretty much immediately! It's magical stuff, I always keep some in the cupboard!

I used aloe Vera held in place with cling film and my burn healed completely. Magic!

The skin wasn't broken though - don't use AV if it is

Immediately after the burn, hold the spot under cold running water as long as it takes for the burning pain to stop. Doesn't heal it, but makes a huge difference.

Aloe Vera then helps a lot. We actuallyhave a plant on the window sill and i just snap off a piece and run it over the burn spot and repeat as needed.
