Hello
After reviewing the medical details provided by you my suggestion is that it’s advisable to let the blister rupture by itself as that will minimise the chances of infection and will also have less healing time.
Once it get ruptured you need to clean the raw area twice daily and then cover it with some antibiotics ointments.
Hope this will answer your query.
