The ER is not the only place you can go for medical treatment.
My order of operations for medical treatment are:
1) Virtual consultation. Free through my insurance. If you need to pay full price, this about as expensive as option 2. Also worth skipping if you can tell that an in person visit will be needed anyway.
2) A clinic. I use CVS's minute clinic. Looking at their price list [0], a minor burn treatment will run you about $100-$150, which is about what I would expect for talking to a professional.
