Rap music is music. However, It's not in the traditional sense of how we understand music. The vocals are filled with slangs that gangs used since the 70s and a lot of the instrumentations are replaced with "Street Sounds" instead of traditional instruments. Music is defined as any combination of sounds that is pleasing to the ear, so while one person may find it as "noise" another person can find it pleasing to the ear and so call "vibe" with it as how I think the kids would say it these days.
Yo, pop that blister asap and disinfect it with rubbing alcohol. After the burning from the rubbing alcohol, I promise that it will feel better almost instantly. I've popped at least 25 blisters on myself due to road marches, handling hot weapons, so I'm speaking from experience. Make sure you put some kind of band aid over it once it's popped as well. Lemme see if I can find the stuff I used to use.
Once that blister is popped, try using aloe vera instead of whatever medication you have (unless your medication is also aloe vera lol).
EDIT: If you're able to, get some moleskin and use that instead of a band aid.

The odd thing is that it doesn't even feel that bad. The itch is minimal, it just looks like crap lol.
Also, I'm having conflicting ideas here. My doctor is telling me not to pop the blister because it'll open the area to infection more easily, and then you're saying you have popped them before (poison ivy before?).
And wouldn't putting on a band aid suffocate the area? I want to get the reasoning behind this

The skin over a blister is to guard from infection, which is why I said to grab a band aid (or moleskin, which is much better for blisters, callouses, etc). Band aids won't suffocate your skin, because you won't have it on for very long (this is why for longer lasting wounds, specifically with older people, gauze and some form of absorbent material is used).
I've never had a blister from poison ivy specifically, but I've had blisters from plants (growing up in Vegas, I never dealt with the plants they have in South Carolina l0l).
If you pop it and don't do anything about it, then yeah, it'll be prone to infection
But it's generally OK to pop them as long as you alcohol the **** out of it and wrap it up so nothing gets in there... I mean that is, after all, what the function of a blister is to begin with (it's basically a natural band-aid that protects the skin underneath).
