When Ice is rubbed on the burnt part of the skin, the pain will be reduced because the heat of the skin will be released by conducting the ice cubes.
The heat would be retrieved from the body, therefore people will feel relief if they are hurt.
Extra heat inside the body tends to aggravate injuries no matter how small they are.
