For minor burns, the following creams are commonly recommended Silver sulfadiazine cream Silvadene Often used for seconddegree burns requires a prescription. Aloe vera gel or cream Natural and soothing good for firstdegree burns. Antibiotic ointments like Bacitracin or Polysporin Help prevent infection. Hydrogel burn dressings Moisturize and cool the area. Avoid applying butter, toothpaste, or oil.
