Should i pop my blister, it's very big, and if so can i apply neosporin ointment after because i have no alcohol.

No: Blister is a way for the body to heal the underlying area. Better to determine why the blister occurred and prevent the irritating cause. Popping a blister opens the body to infection, and this can make things a lot worse, especially if it is a viral blister, as this may spread the blistering. Better to,protect it.
