Just going by experience. I work at a hospital and the nurse did this for me when I spilled hot tea on my hand last week (and they had run out of Neosporin in the med room). It was deep red and blisters were forming along the edges of the burn. I thought she was nuts, but it was painful and I was willing to try anything. She caked on toothpaste and I rinsed after about 10 minutes. The blistering and redness had disappeared, along with the pain. My hand looked like nothing had ever happened. Take it FWIW.
Butter on the other hand....that's a fail.
