Neosporin cream (neomycin and polymyxin b): Neosporin cream (neomycin and polymyxin b) and non-stick band-aid until raw area dries. Leave open at night, limit sports.

Blister: Since you already broke the blister leave the skin in place, it acts as a protective barrier. Cover with triple antibiotic ointment and band aide it should heal up i a few days. If it continues see a podiatrist.

Antibiotic Ointment: It's usually wise to leave blisters alone for a few days to allow the skin inside to heal. If they do open prematurely, wash gently and dress with antibiotic ointment and a bandaide for a few days to allow healing and prevent infection.
