Help? bigger concern: Hi! An already opened blister may be helped to heal using aloe but a bigger concern as with any open skin area is INFECTION! A better treatment would be to use a topical antibiotic - neosporin, bacitracin, etc. with clean covering like a bandaid or sterile gauze until site is healed. This will protect the area from further complications and let the body do its healing job.
