What Causes A Pus Filled Red Blister On Toe?

I have a small bright red blister on my toe. It has a yellow head on it as puss must be inside. It doesn t itch or hurt but it has gotten darker and more pronounced as the day has gone on. I don t know if it s a bug bite or a shoe blister. It s strange that it s changed colour. Can you help?
