Never pop a skin blister. Air out the blister tonight. Use an ice pack wraped in a dry towel to decrease any inflammation. Take motrin or aleve. Put band aids or "liquid skin" over the blister til healed. Monitor your skin for signs of a secondary infection because the blister's are open.

Can you get you hands on some Aloe Vera NOT lotion but the plant. If so pull off a stem peel with a potato peeler and either smear on the gooey stuff or actually tape it to the blisters. Honest this is amazing it is a natural antibiotic and Anesthetic Good luck. Lotions or gels wont work.

Tomorrow when you put shoes back on (ouch!), you'll want to put a band-aid and neosporin over each blister to keep them from being irritated. If you have some moleskin, that is even better. (if you don't know, moleskin is a patch that is sticky on one side and velvety on the other - hikers use it to prevent blisters but it works to put over existing ones to stop irritation as well)
Hope it gets better soon!

There isn't much more you can do besides wash them well and put a light gauze bandage on them- and try to stay off your feet as much as you can until they heal. I ran into the same thing with shoes that didn't fit right.

honey, the worst thing you can do is pop the blisters. when you pop them it makes the blister hurt worse.
make sure you clean the wound thoroughly and apply something like neosporin to keep them infection free.
poor baby, i really feel bad for you.....good luck!!!!
