Neosporin is good for infections, but something I've found that works great
for burns is the juice from an aloe plant. If you get a burn bad enough to
cause a good blister on your finger tips, break off a piece of the plant
and rub some of the goopy stuff on it right away - I'd just about guarantee
that it will prevent the blisters. The next day you'll probably have a
patch of thickened skin where the blister would've been, but no pain or
sensitivity. In a couple of days it'll be gone.
