Help with removing warts and blisters?

I just had the most painful 30 minutes ever of having my warts removed by liquid nitrogen, not just compound W. They are now starting to blister on my hands. There's 7 of them. Their about the size of a m&m. They are extremely painful, but I don't know what's good for them.

Should I pop them? It's kind've hard to write with them. I have school tomorrow and their everywhere on my hands. I can't just put a bandaid on them all. They look horrible too. Should I just wait for them to go away? What if it takes a week or 2. The Dermatologist told me to come back in 2 weeks, for treatment 2.

Update:

Thanks MR. B, I'm not usually self concious but these things are horrible. And their not disguisable with bandaids. I got 5 all spread out on my left hand, and 2 on the right all up the fingers.

    Just leave them be and let them heal. If you mess with them they will look even worse!

    Cover them with a bandage if you want to disguise them a little. When people asked just tell them you got burned, which is not dishonest; you're just not telling them all of the details.

    I had 5 plantar warts on the bottom of my feet and had to go through several liquid nitrogen treatments. None of those worked until the doctor froze them AND injected them with some drug. If you mess with them, there is potential for them to spread, after all they are caused by viruses.

    Edit: I just thought of another solution: Gloves! You could wear thin gloves and say you have wart treatment so you wanted to cover them up because they are not the prettiest things to look at right now. Or you could tell them a vague truth and say the gloves are for a skin treatment. BtW, it never hurts to be honest. If people do not like you for something as lame as having wart treatment then that is proof of how shallow they are.
