From personal experience, It's best not to puncture or bust the blister.If you can manage not to bust the blister ,the fluid inside will absorb back into the skin,new skin will grow underneath and the blister will dry up and eventually peel off. Should the blister burst,be sure to clean it well with warm soapy water and apply an antibiotic ointment and cover it .Let it air dry at night when you're sleeping and it should scab over and heal. Be sure not to wear ill fitting shoes or you'll continue to have blisters.

To treat a blister on your foot, clean the affected area, disinfect the outside of the blister. poke a hole in the apex of the blister with a sterilized needle. Drain and cover with an antibacterial cream and allow to heal. Small blisters will heal on their own.

Don't pop it! It has a chance that it could get infected. If that happens, go see a doctor. Don't touch the blister! Just leave it alone and rest a lot until it heals. Also, whatever caused the blister, do not do it again until healed.
