These are the things you should do if you get burnt by a boiling water.

1. Remove any clothing. Run tap water over the burn area for several minutes until the pain eases. Gently cover the burnt area with a cloth, not too tight so as not to irritate the skin.
2. If the burn is big like the size of a palm, appears red for a prolonged period of time, is on the face or joints, go and see your doctor.
3. Don't put anything like creams, ice packs or ointments on the burnt skin.

I'm voting best answer because the answerer made an effort to re-write the content. I have to admit that I laughed out loud about recommendation #1, as it should be to remove any clothing from the site of the burn. Funny mental picture of either the victim or the person treating doing the work naked per instructions!
