How to treat a sprained ankle?

I keep getting this painful, fluid-filled blister right on the bone above my heel. Does anyone know a good ointment or cream to help get rid of it?
To be honest, I don't think it's just bad footwear. I suspect there might be some minor structural deformity in that part of my foot, which causes my shoes to rub in a way that isn't immediately obvious. It's weird because the blister only shows up after about a half-hour of walking; I never have any issues on shorter walks.

Heat up a lighter, poke holes through both sides, squeeze it out, and hit it with some rubbing alcohol.
If you actually have to go somewhere after, stuff some dry gauze in there; otherwise, just let it air dry.

Ugh, I’m dealing with something pretty similar...🙄
It’s not exactly a blister, but I don't want to start yet another thread just to bug you, so I'll keep it brief here.😳

Not too long ago, this weird little lump started forming on my foot—right on the sole. Honestly, at first, I thought it was just a standard blister, but it never went away. Now? It’s just this stubborn little knot stuck there.🤣
And I have no idea how to handle it. My walking is a total mess now (especially after about thirty minutes in any pair of shoes). My mom suggested it might be from some old, stiff boots I used to wear, but I tossed those out ages ago—and yet, this thing persists. Part of me just wants to get it surgically removed, but then again, who knows how long I'd be sidelined from wearing decent shoes if I went that route?🙏

Any suggestions?

By the way, if you're actually dealing with blisters, Bacitracin helps—they make it in powder and spray form.

Ugh, I’ve heard from so many different people that you definitely shouldn't be poking at it. Apparently, that little tube just clears itself out on its own, and then it dries up anyway.

Don't do it unless you want an infection. You've gotta heat the needle and hit it with some rubbing alcohol first. If you do it right, you’re good for a day, but if you wait around? You'll be dealing with it for days.

Honestly, just let it heal on its own. Don't go poking at it or trying to pop anything.
It’s way better to just wear some comfortable shoes—nothing that pinches the blister—or even better, just throw on some flip-flops, sandals, or slippers. Whatever works. The skin heals a hell of a lot faster when you actually let it breathe.

First time I'm hearing that you actually need to treat a blister. Usually, they just clear up on their own, though I always end up popping mine because I just can't help myself 😬
