Witch hazel will sting at first, but it will help with the pain and swelling. A cold bath is also good.
Avoid a heavy lotion during the first few days, as they can help keep heat in (just like you wouldn't put butter on a regular burn). Use aloe instead. Ice, ice, ice as much as possible.
Hope that helps...being allergic to that stuff must suck--my usual remedy is Dermoplast
