what I do for a burn

A week ago bumped my knuckle on the edge of a very hot pan while making dinner. Ran water on it and then cut a fat leaf tip off my aloe vera (which doesn't look so great but I keep it just for this). I sliced segments lengthwise and held on the burn for a while, then when it didn't hurt so much, took a new piece of aloe and just kept it by where I was sitting. When the gel on my skin started to dry and pain came back, I would slice the end off the piece of aloe and rub freshly cut succulent over the burn again. Over and over, all evening. It's very soothing.

Sounds tedious, but next day there was no pain at all. A few days later, can't even tell there was a burn. It never blistered and won't have a scar.
