I have a huge white water blister-thing-blister on my foot from my shoes and its about the size of a dime. i don't want to pop it though. should i leave it alone?

Let it heal on own: A blister functions like a biologic dressing, keeping out bacteria and dirt. Allow it to resolve on its own if possible. If it pops, keep the area clean and dressed with antibiotic ointment and a sterile bandage you change daily.
