HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Bullae can sometimes form as a result of trauma to an area.
It would be best to leave the lesion. It will likely burst on its own. If you try to puncture it on your own, it may introduce infection.
If it is increasing in size or associated with signs or symptoms of infection then you may need to see your doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
