First of all do not cover your blister. It should get sufficient aeration to heal faster. You can clean it with antiseptic lotion and apply Betadine cream or powder to it. If it is unduly painful you can puncture with sterile needle which makes the fluid to come out and pain will be reduced and apply drez powder on it

A wet aspirin applied to the blister and held there is a good remedy. Ear wax is also supposed to be good. You just apply the wax a few times a day. It's supposed to have antiseptic properties. Some people swear that heat or cold pressed to the sore a few times a day helps.
