Consider applying: Neosporin, vitamin a and d ointment then put band aid. If it worsens, see your dr. Best wishes!

See below: Do not open the blister for 3 days if it is still closed (the fluid is sterile inside and prevents a wound infection while a new layer of skin is forming underneath). If the blister popped open, keep the wound clean and covered, use an antibiotic ointment (e.g. Bacitracin or neosporin), keep pressure off the wound. If the area becomes more red, tender, swollen or you develop fever, see an md.

Time: Aloe vera is also good. Vit e cream. The blister should change to a callous.
