Barry Powell: I don't think that fat and butter or any substance like that helps deal with the burn. One of the reasons why I advocate water is that not only is it extremely good for pain relief - far better than any tablets you can take - but it also cools down that area that has been burnt very quickly and by doing that you can actually minimise the severity of that burn. Well, I think this is now a very difficult area because it depends how big the burn is, what has actually caused the burn and also, in fact, how deep the burn is, ie how much damage has been done. I really think that in the home situation, the best thing you can do is get a cloth or any bathroom towel, soak it in water and cover the area that has been burnt and then probably seek medical advice.
