You have to use any antibacterial ointment to the blister and cover the blister area with the bandage . You make sure the blister area should clean . And cover it until it’s heals.
Next Steps
*swab the blister with iodine
*use petroleum jelly
*check the area every day
*use padding if blister is on pressure area , such as the bottom area of foot
Leave it alone to heal, and cover it with a blister plaster. As long as it is covered, the wound is protected from infection. A blister should not be opened because the blister roof protects against additional infection.
Plain petroleum jelly is a favorite among dermatologists for the treatment of wounds. Although the blister itself will act as a covering for the wound, if it happens to break, a person can cover the area with Vaseline and a bandage. This may promote healing of the area.
Can also visit GP and take anti bacterial ointment.
Did u wear a new foot wear,actually blister will come due to friction or u started walking for a prolong time.
It's not ideal to walk with blister,if u go for walking if it burst u may prone for infection.
First cover the blister with bandage,let it subside automatically.
Then u can start doing walking.
Wear proper foot wear also to avoid friction to feet and fingers.
