Kindly consult a surgeon. That blister needs to be drained and wound treated.

No it’s not normal, you would need a specialised dressing to cover it up so that it heals , leaving it open may complicate and increase the risk of infection
Next Steps
Come for dressing to a plastic surgeon
Health Tips
Tulle sterile dressing and no local dressing
