Should I put alcohol on a mild second degree burn to help prevent infection?

Don't apply alcohol to it, it will only exacerbate the burn. When you're not applying moisturizer, keep it covered with a bandaid. Keep using your moisturizer and be careful when you eat so you don't contaminate the area. If it doesn't start healing in a few days or you notice the redness has spread, go to your doctor.
