“I have a tiny puncture in my foot?”
On one of my feet, my everyday shoes rub up against my heel. This has caused a small blister to form. I am sure that it's fine I just want to make sure and ask if there is anything I should do with it (e.g. put antibacterial cream on it, apply a bandaid).

You can purchase Band-Aid Blister Gel Guard for the Heels over the counter brand adhesive bandages by Johnson & Johnson.. These gel bandages will provide some cushion and prevent blisters from developing on the back of the heel. If your current foot issue worsen then seek the care of foot specialist or podiatrist.
You should see a podiatrist to make sure there is no infection. Until then, triple abx and bandaid to the area.
Hello you don’t need to do anything. The scab will eventually fall off.
The blister is small and does not look infected. It’s ok to apply triple antibiotic ointment and a bandaid until it resolves. You may need to look for a different type of shoe to prevent blistering by decreasing friction.
Use some bacitracin or neosporin and a band aid until healed and get rid of those shoes
I would not continue wearing those shoes if they are constantly rubbing in the area. They are ill fitting and you would be best served by getting a new pair. For now, if it is just a scab leave it alone, if you continue wearing those shoes, you need to pad the area so the rubbing stops.
Clean with soap and water, apply Bacitracin ointment, cover with bandaid 2x/day until healed. If redness around the blister gets wider or the blister area starts to swell, then seek professional assistance. Also, avoid the shoe type that caused the blister.
Hello,
Yes, you can put a band aid with antibacterial ointment. The biggest thing is to buy pieces of moleskin or silicone tape to prevent the blister from forming.

YOU SHOULD WERE A BAND-AID TILL IT GOES AWAY, UNLESS IT IS INFECTED, JUST PROTECT IT FROM FRICTION. IF IT IS INFECTED, JUST CLEAN IT TILL IT DRIES BUT ALWAYS PROTECT IT SO IT CAN HEAL.
Looks like a wart.
There is some redness. I recommend you change shoes to reduce pressure and begin bacitracin and band aid daily to the area. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for appropriate diagnosis and further treatment
It is looking a little red around the wound which may be a sign of infection. You should use antibiotic ointment/cream and keep the area covered with a band aid. If it gets larger, more red, more painful, or drains, see a doctor immediately, as it may be getting infected.
