Use a needle and pop a little hole and get the pus out. DO NOT RIP OFF THE SKIN. The skin will leave serve as added protection so it's not so sore.

To prevent them put athletic tape over areas you know are blister prone.

they have these things at the store that are to put over your blister, a hole where the blister would be and thick cushioning around it. grab some a those and then moleskin as well as athletic tape and pre-wrap which i'm sure you already have if you play soccer. put the cushion pad thing on the blister, wrap it with the prewrap a little bit then a couple layers of athletic tape (not wrapped around fully, just enough to stick where the blister is.) then moleskin that bitch up. it will feel better than before you even had a blister!

sometimes it's good to put a bandaid under the blister pad thing too, or a layer of prewrap.

my fingers and feet are covered in blisters, hands from shoveling and working the rock rigging and toes and heels from my new boots. (steel toes are a little bent down at the back and rub the skin off the base of my toes.) i dont really feel them unless i poke them. the ones that are still blistery are fine but the ones that have popped and had the skin peeled back sting like stab wounds when dirt gets in them or if i poke them. they dont sting when i wear the boots though.

to prevent them use body glide, used on my arches when i was doing distance running last year and it works wonders, similar for cleats, it is in a stick like deodorant, rub it all over plug your nose, put your cleats on and you are good to go.
