What is the best way to heal a cigarette burn on someone's hand?
A friend of mine put a cigarette out on his hand and now it's got a blister. He wants it to heal as quickly as possible so that his mother doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

First Aid for Burns - Minor Burns
The burn area should be put under cool running water, until the pain subsides, for at least five minutes.
If the above remedy is not available, then use cool compresses.
By cooling the burn area, it will help reduce swelling by conducting the heat away from the affected area.
Lightly dab the affected area dry with a soft clean towel.
Cover the affected area with, aloe vera gel/cream or an antibiotic cream, (non oil based).
If necessary use a non-stick sterile gauze bandage (wrapped loosely) to prevent infection.
To help relieve pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, etc.) naproxen (Aleve) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) or aspirin. Do not give aspirin to children or teenagers.
Minor burns should be watched for any evidence of infection, such as redness, fever, swelling, oozing or increased pain. If you notice that an infection has developed, get medical attention. There may be some pigment changes in the affected area. Most minor burns usually heal on their own without any major complications.
When treating burns, it is not recommended to use ice. Applying ice directly on the burned area can further damage the skin or can cause frost bite.
Butter or oil should not be used on a burn because it can trap in the heat causing further damage. Use non oil-based ointments.
Blisters should not be broken. By breaking blisters, you can cause a greater chance of infection.
