Hi
A blister over the feet could be either infective or it could be frictional.
So most importantly,you need to wear cotton based canvas shoes so as to avoid any further trauma to the feet.
Keep the affected area clean and dry.
Wash it with lukewarm water and apply a topical antibiotic cream twice daily .
See a nearby doctor if the infection tends to persist or increase since you might need oral antibiotics.
