Wrap up: This is nothing to worry about as the bacteria is trying to escape. Apply sterile water to the area with a gauze wrap and see your doctor.

See a doctor: Cellulitis should be treated with an antibiotic and you should be examined to ensure that it has not extended beyond the skin to other areas.

Wound Healing 101: Popping blisters with associated cellulitis is the marker for possibly having MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus) infection. You need to start on antibiotics and keep the wound clean and moist with appropriate care. Make an appointment with a wound specialist/podiatrist in your area and seek treatment asap. This can be serious and could put you in the hospital if not treated.
