If you have to walk on it or if it rubs on all your shoes, pop it with a sterilized needle (heat in fire until red, then let cool completely). Pop it toward the edge, gently squeeze the water out, and DO NOT peel off the loose skin, it will hurt for a few days and might get infected. Put neosporin or bacitracin ointment and a bandaid on it.
If you have shoes that don't rub it and it's not big, let the water absorb on its own back into your foot.

The worst thing you could do is to bust it open. LEAVE IT BE. Let your body absorb the fluid back within itself naturally.
Go get some iodine tincture and dab it over the blistered area. It will toughen the skin on the blister. While you are wearing shoes, cover it with a bandaid.
When you're not wearing shoes, leave it open to air.
It will go away eventually.

Do not rip it off. That hurt later as it heals. Take a small pin and insert it into the an area of the blister, then push out the water. This will be pain free and it will heal better than if you ripped it off.

Leave it alone. Popping it will put it at risk for infection and could make it worse. It's best to let it pop on its own. You can put a band-aid on it for cusshion or something, but just try to keep it protected.

leave it alone it'll pop shortly... do try to wear dry socks or something that will cushion it.
when it pops get some cortizone 10.
that stuff works wonders and try to keep the area clean and let it air out too when it goes.
if you must walk on it... wear soft socks.. and do change them when you can.
and if you don't need to go anywhere just let the foot sock free to breathe.
:D

don't pop it!. Just clean the area gently and put a bandage on it if it really bothers you. It will drain on its own. If you pop it, the raw skin is exposed and becomes painful.
Just leave it alone, stick a bandaid over it, if it really bug you.

on your foot it may be hard to leave alone. if it is in a place where you must pop it to be able to wear shoes or something like that make sure to use antibiotic ointment and a bandage until it is completely healed.

Cover it with a bandaid, or similar, and the surroundin skin will absorb the fluid.

Leave it alone, it will go away.. Don't pop it, it could become infected, but that is another story.

That happens to me after an insect bite (ant). Just leave it alone.
