It's best not to pop a blister. Don't remove the skin over a broken blister. The new skin underneath needs this protective cover. Apply an antibiotic ointment or cream. Look for signs of infection to develop, including pus drainage, red or warm skin surrounding the blister or red streaks leading away from the blister. Burns can take a while to fully to heal. However, if you are concerned, I advise seeing your doctor.
