Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Can you please attach a photo of this blister? Otherwise its hard to give valuable answer.

Generally, if you have no swelling, and pain around the blister, no fever, no need to consult a doctor. Just wait and see.
If you had any injury in this area caused by infected object, antibiotic and tetanus shot might be necessary.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
