Some hot solder dripped on my arm at work today. It was too hot to touch, so I had to wait for it to cool on my arm before I could brush it off. Now there are blisters on the spot. Anyone know if I should just let it be and wait for it to heal on its own, or should I pop the blisters now? Picture after the jump if you want to see.

Anyone know?

If they pop they pop.

All popping them does is potentially increase risk of infection
Cover them with a band aid and some neosporin or burn cream, they will go away./

I have never used this image for an actual burn.

If you pop the blisters now, you'll need to keep it clean and treat it like an open wound. That's not bad at all, just leave it be.

If it feels fragile, put a band aid on it.
