I know this is probably the wrong way to do it but when I get a blister. I pop it, peel the skin back then put a plaster over the soft fleshy part. When I have done working for the day a Take off the plaster and let the wound dry out. The following morning it has usually 90% healed. No scars but a little bit of pain and discomfort

Definitely dont pop it. Dont bother putting a bandaid over t, cause it'l rub and get worse. It just needs to be out in the open air, to help dry it out. Rub a lotion for burns on and around the area. I find that burn lotions work better than actual blister ointments. Seriously. Theres heaps of people saying to pop it, but dont do it! It will actualltake longer to heal wen you've popped it, cause the skin will need to heal back together.

Leave it alone. Don't peel it, poke it, or mess with it in general.
Let it do its thing. It will heal itself with out any help from you.
As long as you don't mess with it...You wont have a scar.
Any kind of tampering with a blister can cause an infection which would be much worse than a scar.

I find mercurochrome (this red liquid) very helpful along with a white powder antibiotic.. we used to find years ago on shelves. Not sure if you can get anymore..
At least try.. I can assure you this is the best way..

It wont leave a scar. Don't burst it. let it heal by itself. It won't take long.
