Hi,
If the blister is in the form of a fluid-filled blister then it can be a cold sore cause be herpes simplex virus infection. Other cause can be an overgrown sebaceous gland.
However a clinical examination is a must to rule out the exact nature of it but still, it is advisable to avoid lancing or popping the lump.
In case if it is viral infection you can be advised antiviral medicine like Acyclovir and Valtrex ointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
