it sounds like the blister may be infected. Using mupirocin ointment could be a reasonable option, but it's crucial to consult for proper guidance. i can assess the extent of the infection and recommend an appropriate course of action. Keeping the area clean and avoiding further irritation is essential. If you notice increasing redness, swelling, or persistent pain, seek medical attention promptly to ensure effective treatment and prevent complications.
