If the blister hasn't burst all is well you body is healing the damage..but if its still sort a week after it happened why don't you see your doctor.

nah this is normal. blisters can be any color depending how you burned it and what could be in the blister.
relax if you so much to pop it.. clean it with soap and water and put some alcohol on it to kill any bacteria and then let the sore area breathe.. if you must use your hand where you may hit it on surfaces or it may rub against things get some wrapping bandages and some cortisone 10 and put the ointment on the sore area and wrap the area gently to protect it from any contact and abrasion.
:D
when you must let it air out and do clean the affected area and let it dry.

You can tell it is infected by going to the doctor and asking.

If the area is red and the redness is going up your arm. Also, you may have a fever (chills) and just feel like you have the flu. You should get it checked by a doctor just to be sure.
