What Could Blister On Heel Indicate?

my four year old son had what looked to be a little white pimple on his heel. It was hard and was painful when sqeezed but not red. I did squeeze it and a hard white what looked to be puss came out and left a hole. I put neosporin on it and a bandage. Now it looks like a littleblister. He has no fever but I am concerned cause I have heard MRSA looks like a pimple too.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

I am extremely happy that you have knowledge about community aquired MRSA which is on the rise now. You should be concerned bout two things.
1. MRSA
2. Tetanus (If the kid is not vaccinated int he last 5 years)
I suggest you see your pediatrician.
