If the blister: Is merely caused by friction and if there is fluid in it you would want to get the fluid out. This could be done with a sterile instrument and a clean foot. Gently price the skin and squeeze to get the fluid out. Cover blister site with antibiotic ointment and bandaid.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.

blisters are actually sterile so when you pop them you risk the introduction of infection. If you can manage, leave it alone, cover with bandaid and it will absorb on its own
