Brief Answer:
Superficial burn only

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I checked the pictures and found that you succumb to superficial burns only on the arms. This is minor and it will be cured with Silverex easily. There should not be any scars left.
Bursting the newer bubbles is not a good idea. It would be easy for the bacteria to infect the area. I would just leave it as it is. In case You wish to burst those bubbles You should get that done again by your doctor who will have sterilized equipment.
Silverex, Zinx-S and O2 anti free radicals would do it for you.
Do not worry.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
