I actually did try the healing ointment on this burn (it was a nasty, 1.5"×1" rectangle, 2nd degree burn from contacting the door on the woodstove, as I was loading it, that ruptured within minutes of blistering). I left it alone, but for cold water, for the first few hours, but as soon as I put on the ointment, the pain was intensified and lasted. When I switched, a week later, to the mānuka honey, the pain only intensified with the dressing change, then eased almost completely, even with the contact of the bandage. It also began healing much faster, and the color improved dramatically, within the first several hours.
There was an old wives tale, that one ought to immediately treat a burn with butter or lard, which has since been proven to exacerbate the damage, essentially the 'proof' claims that the oil seals in the heat, in the deeper tissues. I don't know the veracity of that, but I know what I've experienced, this month.
