Brief Answer:

Use a topical antibiotic ointment

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It seems like it was a friction blister that has now ruptured and exposed raw skin. I suggest you apply a topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin 2 %ointment, twice daily.

Hope I have answered your query.
