I carry a 2 ounce spray bottle with colloidal silver (CS) in it in my pocket sometimes and fortunately I had the spray with me that day and told him to spray it directly on the burn. He said it gave almost instant pain relief! I gave him my bottle to keep so he could continue applying it regularly even if there was no pain because research shows that colloidal silver nanoparticles help promote tissue regeneration as discussed here :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11542498/
Here are two relevant quotes from the research link :
' Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have shown substantial promise in burn wound treatment, primarily due to their potent antibacterial properties and ability to promote tissue regeneration.43 AgNPs are effective against a wide range of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains, making them invaluable in preventing and treating infections in burn wounds (Figure 2). '
' The incorporation of AgNPs into various delivery systems and materials enhances their efficacy and expands their applications in burn wound care. '
I suggested that he wet a tissue with the CS and keep it on the burn initially to help maximize the benefit as CS works most effectively when wet and less so once it is dry.

I immediately put it under cold running water for many minutes to take out the heat. (An important step, because the heat retained in the skin can continue to burn the skin.)
I had just restocked my silver gel supply with a new for me brand. (Silver Miracles.) The pain stopped instantly when I applied the gel. I never reapplied the gel or did anything else. The pain did return but was not bad.
The next morning, in a hot shower, I didn't even notice it. (That is when I usually am reminded of a burn.)
I mentioned this to my neighbor. Interestingly, he said sliver gel works the same for him, but for his wife it doesn't seem to help as well. Everyone is different!
I had actually restocked the silver gel because my son uses it as part of his poison ivy regime.
Anyway, Silver gel is worth keeping on hand! (No pun intended. :))

I burned the tip of my middle finger last night when it went through a potholder hole and touched the oven rack at 375*. I immediately held it under running cool water to remove the heat and make it feel better. Several minutes. Then I applied a drop of lavender essential oil. I topped it off with a dab of colloidal silver gel. This was the best thing I think I have done to help a kitchen burn. I was able to do dishes without any pain last night. Today I can see and feel the charred skin, but I have zero pain and have done nothing else since my initial treatment. Three steps - cool the burn, lavender essential oil, colloidal silver gel. ~Mama to Many~ Mama To Many (Tn) on 11/26/2018:
I bought some to keep on hand. (Silver Shield is the brand she told me about.)
My daughter and I have both used it for kitchen burns and have been very impressed! It stops pain for hours and then can be reapplied. I love that it is so easy. I tend to get a kitchen burn when rushing around the kitchen and don't have time to trouble with anything complicated at the moment.

So glad I read this - no kidding, burned my thumb yesterday (bacon grease spatter). Hurt like heck, a small bubble formed.... had that underlying "burn" pain for quite some time. I put colloidal silver on it, took the pain away immediately. Waiting a bit, dabbed some more on then put a band-aid on it. Six hours later I had already forgotten about it. No pain, a small red circle where the bubble was, but other than that - NOTHING. No pain, no general redness, you wouldn't even know there was a burn. BRILLIANT!!!
