This is a small blister. Do not worry too much. Use fucidin ointment for local application thrice a day and do a small dressing if possible. It will heal in a few days time. No antibiotics are needed. Paracetamol for pain can be taken.

You can use a topical antibiotic like Mupirocin {T-bact}. Mix it with ligonocaine jelly if there is pain.
