Infection: It sounds like the blister may now be infected. Please see a doctor so you can get some antibiotics for this.

Peeled blister: Where is the blister located?Is there pus, discharge ? Iis it on the foot where it is constantly rubbed by shoes? Consider washing 2 x a day with soap and water and putting zinc oxide ( desitin )on it . I prefer it to bacitracin , or get a prescription for mupirocin. Do not let it rub on anything or cover with Telfa gauze. f/u/ w/ doc

Keep: open area clean and apply antibiotic ointment 3x a day. If infection develops see your doctor. It should start getting better within 72 hours
