Hello,
A blister due to burn would heal in a few days (7- 10 days) whereas if its been longer than that and if it is firm and all tissue then most likely it is a wart. A distinguishing feature is that warts usually have rough surface whereas blisters are smooth.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
