Blisters mean second degree burns: you will heal fine with no scarring. My advice to you is cover your wounds if they are likely to get dirty and when the blisters do eventually pop of their own accord, smear on a little Neosporin or iodine cream and stick on some Opsite Flexigrid (available from most pharmacies).

If you have the cojones, you can de-roof the blister (ie, CUT IT OFF, ew, ew) in a sterile environment, smear on the Neosporin stick on the Opsite, and you will be healed much faster.

(Moist wound healing is *much* faster and less traumatic to the skin; a piece of Opsite will set you back around $1.50 and is left in place for a week).

Neurofen helps with the pain.

Good luck!
