Do not try to pop it! While the fluid in the blister is sealed from the inside there is no chance of infection. Sometimes blisters will reabsorb from the inside and sometimes not. If it is very uncomfortable and feels like it is ready to pop soak your foot in warm water to which you have added 1 cup of Epsom salts. This will sometimes cause the blister to come to a head. if not just cover it with a soft gauze pad and protect it.

Leave it alone. If it has not yet popped, you can put a band-aid over it if you wish to protect it further. The body creates ways to try to heal itself, and the blister bubble is one it uses. If it has popped, try to let it air out, and it will heal on its own.

A blister usually needs no treatment. Leave it alone.

Leave it alone. Maybe cover it with a band-aid to help cushion it, but don't pop it....this could lead to infection and will actually take longer to heal.

Put some germolene on it. Germolene has a local anaesthetic property to it and this will reduce the pain.
