Will blisters on your feet heal on their own?

Many people have calluses on the soles of their feet due to excessive walking. Sometimes, in severe cases, large blisters may form, which not only seriously affect their walking but also cause unbearable pain. Some people simply pricked the wound themselves with a needle, but because the needle was not properly disinfected, the wound became infected and even caused a high fever, and they had to go to the hospital. So, if you get blisters on your feet, can you just ignore it and let it heal on its own?
