Hello Doctor, I have heard that when it burns use tooth paste on it so that it will not bulge. Is this true?

No it is not true, it would be much better to pour tap water on the burn.

It only reduces the burning by providing coldness. Instead use turmeric powder mixed in water. It has healing property.
