Won't hurt: If you broke the blister it is not the end of the world. You need to keep it clean and cleanse thoroughly every day with soap and water. Then you can apply the antibiotic cream. You will want to wrap and keep it covered until the area is covered and not longer draining. If becomes red you could either have infection or allergy to cream Best wishes.
