Similar to sweat. The difference is that it is not extruded from a sweat gland at the skin's surface. It is a result of the body's attempt to cool off an injury, due to heat or friction.
That is whe popping a blister can be so risky. It is an opening into the body, unprotected by a normal, healthy layer of skin. Popping the blister exposes the body to infection, the same as any other wound may do.

Registered Nurse here; The watery clear liquid is ruptured cells that release there membranes to offer immediate protective barrier against infection. Should not rupture those blisters, they are so beneficial as long as the blister is unbroken, bacteria cannot enter the site, and infection not a risk. However once that blister is broken, the gates open for any and all bacteria, infection is constant threat, until skin grows back.
Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.

When you get an injury, your body begins the inflammatory response. The blood vessels in that area will dilate (open up wider) which allows for more blood (carrying nutrients, O2, and white blood cells) to flow to that area. This is what causes the redness and warmth at the surface of the skin. The fluid in the blister is usually serous agents that are there to assist in the healing process. If it is a pus-like material, it is dead white blood cells that have worked on the invading pathogen and are inactive now. Don't pop the blister, the process will heal on it's own most times.

Its cocaine. You should save the liquid, dry it out and snort it back up.
